Part Description
This rear drive shaft was removed from a 2012 Subaru Impreza equipped with a 2.0L engine and automatic transmission. The part has been professionally inspected for wear, damage, and proper operation. It is currently on our shelf and ready to ship immediately upon order.
The rear drive shaft transfers power from the transmission to the rear differential in all-wheel drive Subaru vehicles.
