Unfortunately, it was not from a Subaru dealer, which may be why this problem when unnoticed. I did, however, buy it from a reputable multi-brand dealership's used car lot. They were really great throughout the whole car buying process, and they get great customer service reviews, so I am hoping that they won't give me any problems. I was very satisfied with them and my Subi when I got her, but I am waiting on the warranty to expire before writing them a rave review. I supposed their review hinges on this being amicably resolved.For sure with that one I would go back to the dealer who sold it to you. If it's a reputable Subaru dealer I would think they would repair as it's something they should've noticed if they inspected the car as that is one of the areas of concern on any used Subaru.
That's good to knowWorking on Subies is really easy. I had a Jeep too but working on the Subie is way easier. You could probably do the repair yourself if you had too. There are great write-ups on the site on how to do this and what parts to get/avoid.
Hopefully the dealer will take care of this and the TPMS.
By all means go back and see what they say. It's not a super costly fix so I would guess they would do the fix to keep a happy customer as word of mouth is the best advertising.Unfortunately, it was not from a Subaru dealer, which may be why this problem when unnoticed.

I used to/ still own jeeps, so I did a double take on the "axle swap" part. To me an "axle swap" is going from a Dana 35 to a Dana 44 or 60, which is no small undertaking (or price). I am going to have to get used to this kind of stuffbecause this repair is fairly easy and fairly inexpensive, the dealership SHOULD be interested in your having a good experience there. I bet they'd do an axle swap for you. Of course, it will be a cheap, generic axle, but at least it won't have a split boot.
They probably will, they really have a great reputation for that.By all means go back and see what they say. It's not a super costly fix so I would guess they would do the fix to keep a happy customer as word of mouth is the best advertising.
This.If there are already vibration issues, then there is probably damage to the cv joint. Don't just reboot, have it rebuilt or replace it. The vibration issues are noticeable at idle in gear. But it does fade a bit as the axles break in.
