Jon_Dickinson Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Hello all, I bought my first Subaru earlier this year, a 2005 Forester 2.5 XT. It's a great car, plenty of go and practical with it. My only problem is that it recently developed a clunking sound from underneath which has been identified as worn propshaft bearings. I called my nearest Subaru dealer and was told that they could only supply the complete propshaft and they quoted me over £800 for the part. My first question is, can the rubber doughnut containing the bearings be replaced without replacing the whole prop shaft? or is it just too big a job to consider? Alternatively, could anyone recommend an alternative/more cost effective parts supplier please? Are there any other options, for example; do any other Subaru models share the same propshaft? I would greatly appreciate any help you could provide. Many thanks, Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Not sure for your model( I have a classic impreza) but I was quoted £28 for a second hand complete shaft and bearing. I've seen the bearings on eBay for £40 but all posted from China so can't comment on quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
