Description
Part Description
This rear drive shaft assembly was removed from a 2013 Subaru Legacy sedan equipped with a 2.5L engine and CVT automatic transmission. The complete assembly has been professionally inspected for proper operation and is currently on our shelf ready to ship. All mounting points and CV joints have been checked for wear and functionality.
The rear drive shaft assembly is a critical component in all-wheel drive Subaru vehicles, transferring power from the transmission to the rear differential. Common replacement reasons include worn CV joints causing clicking noises during turns, torn CV boots allowing contamination, or damage from road debris or accidents. A failing rear drive shaft can cause vibration, noise, and loss of all-wheel drive capability.
