MaStaMooN Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Would this leak likely be a blown pinion seal? The substance is very thick and doesn't seem to be dripping at all in my driveway. Any idea what a shop would usually charge to fix such a thing? Thanks! Jon - vBGarage Profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gex Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Nope, not the pinion seal. You have burst one of the hydraulic outrigger bushings in the rear dif cradle. Replace with Whiteline solid bushings part KTD905 you can also get the ktd906 inserts to help stiffen up the back end a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated Too sigmafour Posted July 31, 2017 I Donated Too Share Posted July 31, 2017 Probably just the rear diff mount. Those mounts have thick fluid bushings... I was troubled by something similar many years ago and it was just the mount. Cheap/Quick fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh makes sense and makes me happy! lol Probably just the rear diff mount. Those mounts have thick fluid bushings... I was troubled by something similar many years ago and it was just the mount. Cheap/Quick fix. Did you replace with new bushings or buy the whole part? I see them on ebay for like 50 bucks used, cant seem to find a part number to see if I can find one new. Anybody have an OEM partnumber for the rear diff carrier bracket for an 05 LGT 5MT? Jon - vBGarage Profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found a picture or 2 in those diagrams, but cant actually find the part itself. Ill keep looking, Id like do just swap it out for another part in my driveway if possible.. dont have a press so if I can do the whole part that would be tits.

I Donated Too sigmafour Posted July 31, 2017 I Donated Too Share Posted July 31, 2017 I replaced the whole part with an OEM one...yes you can get something stronger but I have a lot of power on that car and I haven't needed to uprate everything I can... and this is one part I just replaced and left stock with no problems. http://parts.subaru.com/p/Subaru__/DIFFERENTIAL-MEMBER-ASSEMBLY-FRONT/49248547/41310AG02B.html If you buy this part it's a 10 min job, no presses, no trips to AZP because you won't need to spend money on someone elses labor. Unless it's all rusty as heck... well then... worth it. Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Hey, be nice to AZP... I bought a impact universal for my impact gun, sprayed the rusty nut and bolts with PB Blaster, let it sit for 15 minutes and the impact gun worked great. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

Rust definitely is a factor here... can you get the bolts out of the top of the diff if you break one? Not sure how much clearance there is under there. If so, maybe ill buy all the required hardware along with it. Jon - vBGarage Profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
