05LegacyGTGa Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I have a lot of squeaking from my driveshaft on my car. I'm assuming its the carrier bearing. It also sounds like an aluminum can rattling under the cup holder under load. I'm going to replace it, but I can't figure out which way to go. I was looking at the Dorman replacement, but have heard people say they have problems with vibration with those. Then there's the stock Subaru replacement that is pricey. Also looking at the 1 piece driveshaft from the driveshaft shop, but my car is completely stock and not sure if the 1 piece changes anything. I recently saw a thread about getting one from the driveshaft store. They seemed to be happy with that one and its not terribly priced. Which route should I go?! I've looked at so much information now that I can't process anything anymore, ha. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 You have the two choices. What's the price on the solid one from DSS ? 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

05LegacyGTGa Posted March 19, 2021 Author Share Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) It seems like a couple of people have had a good experience with the stockish replacement from the driveshaft store. I'm guessing this would be the one for my car: https://driveshaftstore.com/Subaru-Legacy-Driveshaft-2005-111530 I like the idea of the solid aluminum 1 piece from the driveshaft shop, but it is more pricey.

Max Capacity Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 The Driveshaft store, tell them you heard about them from us or me. I talked to Steve there last summer time. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.
