FL Outback Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 (edited) My '08 Outback scissor jack failed (bent). Will the scissor jacks from other Subarus work? The local junk yards have some Subarus with jacks but no Outbacks. Used jacks on EBAy for '05-09 Outbacks are about $75 bucks, but some Forester jacks are less than $30. Thanks.

desertsubaru Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 For that price you can get a 2 ton Bottle jack from a store. About $30 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt167 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Interchangeable for the most part. You have to match suspension height. Some like your OB will have a riser on the pinch joint part.making the jack taller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartless Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 i would think a Forester jack would work fine as they generally sit about the same height as an Outback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
