Part Description
This used OEM rear drive shaft was removed from a 2008 Subaru Tribeca with automatic transmission. The part has been professionally inspected and is currently on our shelf ready to ship. This genuine Subaru component ensures proper fit and function for your vehicle’s all-wheel drive system.
The rear drive shaft is a critical component in Subaru’s all-wheel drive system, transferring power from the transmission to the rear differential. Common replacement reasons include worn CV joints, damaged boots allowing contamination, vibration during acceleration, or accident damage.
