A tip for those who are DIY at home.. You only need to drop the top steering knuckle bolt you don’t need to do both. I dropped both and my shock was extended enough to where it was a PITA to put back onto the knuckle :)

Really good video. Think I'm going to go for it.

Complimenti, molto bravo, intervento risolutivo❤

Now that’s a great educational video! Thank you!

Super helpful info thank you for sharing

Great video man. It's amazing how much you remind me of myself. I'm always cussing and throwing crap. And there is always one thing that should be real easy that takes way too long....

Very informative and helpful man, thank you, was racking my brain about this popping, rightward, slow turns only too. Same thing. Always stay hydrated in that hot climate, keep up the great content.

Subaru axle replacement is one of the easiest repairs. We own 3 Subarus and I have replaced a bunch of them. It's a 20 minute job.

Thanks. I appreciate your sharing with us

thank you for your video. I used it to replace the front axles on a Subaru 2014 XV Crosstrek that was making a horrible sound. I used Trakmotive axles, though. I owe you baked goods as your education is worth at least $600 in this case and I'm likely going to attempt the rear axles too.

Thank you. What are the torque values for the fasteners?

Is it the same for 2011 Imprezas?

Solid video, another one I saw made a comment about the two 19mm bolts for the strut, and to make sure they're torqued to their alignment marks? I've got a 2014 I'm looking to do this replacement on, but I don't necessarily have pneumatic tools or a breaker bar to loosen tough stuff up.

@@AutoRepairTips757 that's a good tip. If I'm only doing the front axles, should I have the whole car on stands or is it safer to only have the front?

What about replacing the stud??

Awesome vid, thank you lots! So no need to drain the transition oil, the axle pops out without oil leaking out?

Great video, small issue with my 2014 XV. The struts do not align with the bolt holes on the knuckle. Anyone have an idea how to fix this?

Not sure what you mean

Removing strut bolts, requires an alignment.

How many ugga duggas do we torque the strut bolts to?

I love that you used a real Suburu drive shaft but why didn't you torque anything? Also the top strut bolt is a camber bolt you are supposed to mark it before removing it now you need a wheel alignment!

I have to say after buying a Subaru I am surprised how affordable OEM parts are from them. They don't try and empty your wallet...I am looking at you Stellantas

Not, if you mark where the strut exactly is before removing strut bolts. Top one is concentric. By turning it you can adjust alignment exactly where it was if you marked it before removal.

The top strut bolt is oblong for a camber adjustment and he failed to mark it so now yes an alignment. He sucks !!!
