alaskajoel Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 looking to do this soon. I know some of you have done this and looking for some advice or help (with pay) if needed. Is it a front or rear? If it's a front I would really suggest buying an entire reman axle for 50 bucks. It saves a lot of time and headache. The process isn't too hard.

S402 Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 yeah I looked a lot into it last night seems like the best thing I would like oem though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hops Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I have an OEM CV axle with just a ripped boot and I also have the whole OEM boot repair kit, if you're interested - I'll sell it to you for a good price. Replacing the CV axle isn't too bad. The worst part is getting the ball joint out. I'm about to replace the CV axles on my Outback... We could do a CV party. Buy my cars!

Inspector Gadget Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Yes sir, I do. I also need to replace my LCA bushings and front sway bar. Now if that doesn't sound like a party, I don't know what does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dujo Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Rust can be a deal breaker on this job. Broke my lower ball joint through bolt and it became a nightmare. Lots of PB Blaster and be prepared to use an air gun and heat to get things loose. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hops Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Ball joints are the worst part. Just replaced my CVs on my Outback (again). Don't buy cheap ones. I had just replaced them in the summer. And king pins suck on older Subies. Luckily, the BL/BP platform does not use them. Buy my cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktmrider Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 New boot and related parts are pretty cheap from the dealer. Follow this link: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/replace-rebuild-torn-cv-boot-and-axle-108975.html?t=108975&highlight=axle+walkthrough Think the part nos are on page two or three. Also note the axle differences when going from a box store, make sure to get the *190 model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
