Well I wasn't able to get the rear up today but I did try taking off on some more slick areas not much seemed to happen besides just forward movement, maybe I need to gas it more but I'm hoping tomorrow evening after work I can get it lifted up and take a look

Well I haven't gotten around to looking yet as I just got the car 2 days ago, it still drives and what not without any weird noises now but I'm afraid something worse could happen. Over all for 400 I can't complain the rear diff is the only issue everything else works great. I drove it around the block and it seemed OK but it bugs me that I don't know what got crunched up in there. I see a good bit of Subaru's on the road where I live in AZ so I'm assuming finding a replacement shouldn't be too difficult but now I just want to feed my curiosity and find out what exactly happened

They were thin smaller chunks just a small amount but still not normal obviously. Not from any bigger parts but still didn't cause it to lock up...

Well the diff itself is not leaking, this is what I found in the fluid after draining what was in there out. I'm still not exactly sure what the pieces are. The car still drives, and there's still no noise coming from the rear but I'm still unsure. Tomorrow morning I'll have the car up on Jack stands so I can actually take the cover off.

Helo all, I'm new to Subaru's as I just bought one to fix up a bit and use as a daily. I got a 1995 legacy L and I'm pretty sure the rear diff is gone. I was driving home home (the Diff was bad when I purchased it, only paid 400 so what can you do) it was making a howling noise then clanked 3 times and all the sudden no more noise. It didn't lock up and I still got the car home but after looking to see what happened I found small chunks of metal and some shavings. I can't tell exactly what the chunks are but they're thin maybe some form of spacer? Anyone have knowledge with this kind of issue? Thanks for any help in advance.
