I'm replacing the center diff viscous coupling on my '95 Legacy L 5 speed and I'm wondering what else might need to be replaced inside the diff while I have it open. I'm replacing the coupling itself and the tail housing gasket, but the parts guy at Subaru said there might also be some bearings that need changed also. I'm not sure what these would be. Anything else (besides tires) need to be done to prevent it from failing again?

Inspect the center diff itself. They take a huge beating when the VC goes bad, so do all the associated bearings.
