This rear drive shaft was removed from a 2012 Subaru Forester equipped with a manual transmission and 2.5L engine. The part has been thoroughly inspected by our experienced technicians and is currently on the shelf ready to ship. This OEM component ensures proper power transfer from the transmission to the rear differential in your all-wheel drive Subaru.
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 reasons for replacement include worn universal joints, damaged CV joints, bent shaft from impact damage, or vibration issues during acceleration. A failing drive shaft can cause clunking noises, vibrations, or complete loss of power to the rear wheels.

This specific drive shaft is designed for manual transmission models only. Automatic transmission Foresters use a different drive shaft configuration. Contact us to verify the correct part for your automatic transmission vehicle.
Common symptoms include clunking noises during acceleration or deceleration, vibrations felt through the floor or steering wheel, and in severe cases, complete loss of power to the rear wheels. These issues typically worsen under load or during turns.
Drive shaft replacement requires lifting the vehicle and working with the exhaust system and differential. While mechanically straightforward, it requires proper tools and safety equipment. Most DIY mechanics with moderate experience can complete this repair in 2-3 hours.
Yes, this is a complete drive shaft assembly that includes all CV joints and universal joints as originally installed. The assembly is ready for direct installation without requiring additional components.
This drive shaft may fit other Subaru models with similar drivetrains, particularly Impreza and Outback models with manual transmissions. However, we recommend verifying fitment with our parts specialists before purchasing to ensure proper compatibility.
Installation typically requires basic hand tools, a floor jack, jack stands, and possibly a universal joint puller. You may also need to remove exhaust components for access, so appropriate sockets and extensions are recommended.

I'm replacing damaged panels on my 2006 Ridgeline on a tight budget so I may quickly sell it and they were so helpful and priced better than anyone else in the area. Raised a glass of scotch for these ladies! Thanks again!
Great service! The best price and condition for the Porsche Cayenne parts needed to finish the job. Radiator core support and headlight fit perfectly!
Drove from new york, Julie was a sweetheart asked questions to make sure that my ECU was the proper part number and was compatible with my manual Accord, price was phenomenal I highly recommend them for any parts your car may need. Definitely the best salvage yard around
Great experience at 603 Auto Salvage! ⭐️ The owner and employee were both extremely helpful and easy to work with. I was able to find everything I needed in one stop — about seven different items — which saved me a lot of time and hassle. Good selection, fair pricing, and friendly service. Definitely recommend checking them out if you're looking for parts. I’ll be back again! 👍🔧🚗

The customer service at 603 was great. They found the part I needed very quickly and promptly notified me when it was ready to be picked up. There wasn’t any other place in the area that had what I needed. The price was very good also. I will be using them again for sure.
I had a great experience. They didn’t just look up the part I needed they took the time to explain how to install it and made sure I understood everything. I even received a call back, which I really appreciated. Everyone I spoke with was friendly and patient, and I never felt brushed off. I truly felt taken care of. Highly recommend if you want knowledgeable people who actually care about helping you. Kristy Thanks Guys!
Drove from Connecticut to get here. Had parts for a relatively rare car that dozens of other places didn't have. I got a hood, fender and bumper cover that were in near mint condition for a fifteen year old car. They pulled all the parts for me and had everything ready within an hour. Very reasonably priced. Highly recommend
Exceptional service, large selection of parts, will come back if more Audi parts are needed. A++
