joeo Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Just went though this process as one of the CV boots was ripped - took some pictures along the way, and added some notes - hope it helps someone out. It's for a 1995 (not 91) Legacy Outback, but I think they are very similar. http://www.lovehorsepower.com/SubaruDocs/CVBoot.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "Outback" version of the Legacy was introduced in 96 (or 95?). In 95 they changed body styles, to the one the original Outbacks were based on.

joeo Posted April 9, 2006 Author Share Posted April 9, 2006 Yeah - for whatever reason I could not change the title. Could an admin change it? The article states it correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olnick Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Thanks for the effort, joeo. Pictures make such a great difference when explaining a step-by-step procedure like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjou812 Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Thanks for the pictures. I might need to refer to them because my 90 legacy has a cv axle installed by pep boys 6 months ago. Ever since then I hear a clunk every time I let off the gas. I dont know if it's a defective cv joint but I suspect it is. There have been numerous warnings on this site about cheap axles. The people in the know say to only use genuine subaru axles, or if you must save money use Napa. Now I need some advice- should I chance this axle breaking or replace it first?

joeo Posted April 10, 2006 Author Share Posted April 10, 2006 Olnick, and jjou812 - you're very welcome! jjou812, your 1990 Legacy should be really similar. I used to have a '90 model and it looked almost exactly the same. I bought my axle replacements from a local Autozone - hope they are OK! If it's making a noise, I would check it out, or if it's still under warrenty from Pep Boys, ask them to check it out. Good luck! http://www.lovehorsepower.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
