Limeydriver Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I can alsolutely confirm that the Rock Auto supplied A1-Cardone CV Half Shaft Assy for the 2005 Outback/ Legacy fits like a glove. I fitted a pair on my Outback XT yesterday.The part number is 607355. At $90 a shaft it represents a considerable saving from an OEM shaft, the quality is good and it comes with the shaft nut and circlip. It is the equivalent of factory part no 28321AG00D.In addition if you are replacing front wheel bearings the Timken part no is HA590118 also available from Rock Auto for around $100. not as big a saving from the OEM cost but a quality product none the less. I hope this helps someone who has the infamous driveshaft boot problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Capacity Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Check your local auto parts store. I paid $75.00 at Advance Auto Parts for a 100% brand new one. Came with the nut and clip. List was $116, but no one pays that. At least your supporting a local shop. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it. Engine Build - Click Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 There are a million places to get half shafts for $75. Local and internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixem2r Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Thanks guys. To bad none of my local places had stock and most said it would take 5 days to get into stock. Went with Rock Auto and a brand new shaft from A1 Cardone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ece_tim Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I went with a front CV from Mac Auto via eBay a while back as well. FWIW, I recently took my car into a Subaru dealership for a drivetrain noise diagnosis. Their Master Tech with 25years experience said the aftermarket axles make some noise on these cars and they recommend using factory ones. Take it for what it's worth. I don't plan on ditching my axle, but I did pick up a used OEM axle for cheap and I have mine that had a busted boot that I can recondition. Whenever it is convenient, I might try to swap the axles and see if it fixes the noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notthesnail Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I wonder if the noise could be from a weight difference instead of just because it's not OEM. I'll find out soon if there's noise when two are replaced. I just have to get my car back together after replacing both shafts, both lower control arms (aluminum!), bushings, and taking both hubs off to get seized pinch bolts removed (after breaking one).

ece_tim Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Yeah, I dunno. My problem is that I also installed an ACT HD clutch and WRX flywheel at the same time as the axle, so who knows what the noise is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
