A Subaru that's broken? Did you get the bad one? :D

I have owned a few, and all the family has too. I've found them very easy to work on. What sort of issues has it got?

Hey Railey, in our experience with our Forester, these guys are excellent: Pierre Collet Motors - Home (http://www.pierrecolletmotors.com.au)

It's an 06 Impreza. Wife came home complaining of a weird smell. Popped the bonnet and had a look and found CV boot on passenger side has a tear. It's thrown its oil all over back side of the engine. Also just general service. We used to use Makin & Luby, but they have changed owners and now primarily deal in Suzuki.

Yeah that's not far from my work in Box Hill. Might have to check them out. Would just swap cars. Too easy!

There is a great one in tullamarine. My brothers liberty had the exact same thing happen.

Looks like it's going to be an axle replacement. It'd have to come out anyway. How hard is that to do with all the AWD? Any harder than a D1?

I believe that they replaced it on the car.

Very simple job on a Subaru. No need to replace the driveshaft, just clean and regrease the joint and put a new boot on.

Cheers guys! Thanks for the advice. Seems she booked it into her old place. Quoted $220 all up for new axle....which means my Sat is now free [emoji846]

Yeah did a bit of poking around. Looked simple. I just didn't know if there was any more to it with the bloody sequential AWD, or if alignment needed after.
