Yeah no jerking around corners the donor was from a 02 legacy and the gear ratio is right the orginal rear end also got hot but I didn't know anybetter cause I had just bought the car any more ideas

Hi I just replaced my rear diff 2003 legacy l model 2.5l and I can drive a little way maybe 5 miles and feel of it and its too hot to touch it has fluid in it. by the way my last rear went out cause of overheating could it be a wheel bearing or something my wheels are not hot brakes and e brakes are not stuck this is my first Subaru and its not going so well hope I can fix this and my thoughts on this car Thanks in advance

should I take the whole axle down its still connected to the rotors I have a Haynes book but it says nothing about getting the axles back in

yep its bad run out of fluid and locked up big chunks of metal come out. The diff I bought come off of a salvaged Subaru a year older then mine the diffs are identical maybe I don't have it straight enough I just don't know how much force it should take to get the axles to seat should I bolt in the diff before trying to get the axles in

should I put the axles in on the ground and jack it up or whats the best position to use for best chances of sucess

I have got them in and hit them with the mallet will not work and is there enough room to get the snap rings on the axle thru the gears under the cover

Hi im new to Subaru I have a 03 Subaru legacy 2.5 the rear carrier went out and I have a new one ready to put in but I cannot not get the cv axles to go into the diff the snap rings are on the axles I think that's what is holding me up is there a way to get these axles in they come out easy enough please help

Hi im lennie I own a 2003 Subaru legacy l 2.5 first Subaru I have ever owned
