Hey all

I just wanna find out how much would a diff cost a 4wd subaru l series ??

Rear diff any where from 50 bucks for a standard diff up to 450 for a limited slip one.

is there a front diff too if so how much becuase the person said i need the front one

The front one is part of your gearbox. You could try and buy one seperately but it is better to just throw in another box. Expect around $300 upwards.

Maybe you'd like a second opinion on the problem?

I've never heard of a front diff going in an L-series before (doesn't mean it doesn't happen though!).

What are the symptoms?

I have heard and replaced an L series gearbox, the owner was young and didnt have much interest in car and a leaking seal ran it out of juice the box was very sad inside.

But thats the only one in about 15years of playing with Subys so its not what i would call a common problem

Well first of all guyz im gonna be picking up the car 2morrow and the guy told me the front diff died but his not too sure all he noes is that the 4wd is gone so its a rwd and i just want to noe how much would it cost to get the front one

10'll get ya 20 he has blown a cv joint.

I'll call your $20 and raise you $10 - bet he stripped out the hub splines.
