Car parts and drivetrain components for Subaru.
The most common symptoms are vibrations under acceleration or a clicking noise when cornering. If you notice that grease has leaked from a damaged CV boot, there is a high risk that dirt has damaged the joint and that the entire shaft or joint must be replaced.
No, it often differs between models such as the Legacy, Impreza and Forester. Differences exist in the number of splines, length and whether the joint has an integrated ABS ring. Always select your make, model and engine to find the correct part.
The outer CV joint sits closest to the wheel and accommodates steering angles; when worn, it usually produces a clicking noise. The inner CV joint sits closest to the gearbox and absorbs changes in length; wear here is most often felt as vibrations through the car.
If you catch a damaged boot early and the joint has not started making noise, it is often sufficient to replace just the CV boot and pack it with fresh grease. If the joint is already making noise, it is damaged and should be replaced.
Vibrations can be caused by an unbalanced propeller shaft, worn universal joints or issues with the inner CV joints. On all-wheel-drive Subarus, it is also important to check the prop shaft centre bearing.
