MilesA Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Moog are beefy and not expensive. They even have grease fittings. I'm pretty happy with them so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesA Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 So miles what's the "unicorn"of 05 wagons?I like to give nicknames to my cars. It got that name because it's kind of rare and hard to find. They only sold a few thousand LGT 5MT wagons in '05 and '06, in the U.S. before discontinuing them. When I would occasionally get parts at my friendly local Subaru dealer, the parts counter man would ask me how my unicorn was doing. So, there you go.

Rhitter Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Yep, I have had them on the Whiteline 20mm adjustable swaybar set on hard. However, the weak point on these cars are the sway bar mounts. Really easy to twist and rip them off. Recommend some sort of stupidly expensive reinforcement bracket like: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/diy-avo-swaybar-mount-reinforcement-bracket-142767.html My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robburns201 Posted August 13, 2017 Author Share Posted August 13, 2017 Ok he possibly has another issue...He's saying that he can feel the drive shaft flexing underneath the car and hitting underneath....Anyone know what this is???

Rhitter Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Drive shaft carrier bearing is shot. Or drive shaft carrier bearing bolts came loose. Never heard of that though. Get under the car and start moving shit around. I would learn more towards the exhaust over the drive shaft. My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I replaced the prop shaft a couple years back. Had to buy OEM but there are a couple threads about them here. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/idea-web-links-saved-various-parts-219238.html 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

robburns201 Posted August 13, 2017 Author Share Posted August 13, 2017 Should you be able to move the drive shaft inside the carrier bearing about a half inch in any direction??? Sent from my 0PJA2 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robburns201 Posted August 13, 2017 Author Share Posted August 13, 2017 Also is this Gap right from the transmission mount to the crossmember??? Sent from my 0PJA2 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freaksavior Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I don't think so. Checking the FSM. Check back for an edit. edit: FSM is 4. CENTER BEARING FREE PLAY 1) Remove the front and center exhaust pipe. 2) Remove the rear exhaust pipe and muffler. 3) Remove the heat shield cover. 4) Move the propeller shaft near center bearing up and down, and left and right with your hand to check for any abnormal bearing free play. Runout: Service limit 0.6 mm (0.024 in) So if you're getting a full half inch, then it sounds like you need a new one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
