too right! just called them $390 each i think ill keep looking

the problem is there isnt many places in country vic

What's the groove on the CV shaft look like - shagged out? Hate to say it, maybe it's the diff centre where the clip lives that's the problem :( Bennie the groove has been machined out, so should be in good condition i was talking to the mechanic yesty and said it is very possible the diff is the i...

What clip?? I never had one on my rear shafts...???!?

there not on the drive shafts there in the diff apparently

had the similar problem in a mates car, turned out to be the rear shocks

the clip has already been replaced- didnt help.

any recommendations on were to get a new drive shaft? i only know of repco

well im going to replace the shaft. were is the best place to buy a reconditioned shaft? ebay? if so does any one have any experience with a seller on there. also what are the cheap new ones like on ebay, such as this http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/BRAND-NEW-CV-JOINT-DRIVE-SHAFT-SUBARU-FORESTER-07-02-05...

very strange, i most defiantly didn't feel the lose in power, not that there is alot to loose

it happened again :mad: i have been in tassie, on a two week camping trip and i noticed it on the 12th day:( i was able to get the shaft back in but come out about 3 more times until i got home yesterday. not sure what the next step is, the drive shafts are original so perhaps a new one might fix th...

ill be in north QLD, have fun!

i tested mine mainly on a gravel road or put some flex on the car on dirt to loose traction and see if the rear gets power. thats how i did mine and was effective, its very obvious to tell you dont have AWD, i could get the front wheels to spin on wet bitumen when i lost AWD while not even close now...

when i lost AWD it was my one of my rear drive shafts not in the diff fully, quick and easy check

wicked foz mate, one of the best ive seen.

how is the wagon lifted?

i had a look at this about a month ago when i was buying some SUEC Its a very nice car, the extra 50mm of clearance makes it easier to get in and out of for starters and for people like myself it will make it driving in country areas much better, driving the standard liberty i used to scrap every we...

its fine.

yep springs and strut spacers will lift the body and drivetrain. and the king springs handle very well with many of us using them and having positive experience, especially in the bends

my forester clicked over to 170,000 yesterday thats now 6,000 on the new engine and still going well

Also, getting new springs and struts, will that increase the travel of the suspension? It's all good to lift the car, but could I also get a little more travel? Cheers Doug good choice on the lift remember to upload some pics once done. sorry cant recommend any one it Melbourne unfortunately longer...

Highly HIGHLY reccomend Toyo Teo Plus. Grip like shit, and dont squeal with my outback. They are also wearing quite nicely too. :) I think they are around the $200 a corner mark. EDIT: And for a H/T they are INCREDIBLE offroad for sandwork. +1 i have them on forester have had them on for 35,000ks s...
