fishbone Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Looking in the DYI CV rebuild thread, Car Parts Discount came up as a vendor carrying cheap axles. They have 2 models with pictures and looking at both, the axles that we are talking about in this thread seem to be the non-GT ones. Go here http://www.carpartsdiscount.com/auto/parts and look at both CV axles they have under 2006 Legacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briancox22 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I ordered one from MAC Auto last week and they just refunded my money cause they're out of stock. Then I just called Car Parts Discount and they're out of stock as well... Any other cheap options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macautoparts Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Jim_KT and Fishbone I am very sorry about the situation with your axles. We do have the correct axles now. What happened is originally we were selling EMPI axles (this is why Scooters fit) which are great because they have actually upgraded the OE design but we ran out of stock so we started selling other brands. It also turns out that for EMPI it doesn't make a difference turbo or non-turbo, but in other brands it does. We should be getting the empi ones back in stock at the end of this month, but for now we are still selling the other axles but before shipping we are verifying the information with each customer to ensure they get the correct part. We are very sorry and if you need to order another axle or you problems have not been solved do not hesitate to call 800 209 9598 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanger Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 i'm looking to get this, my front driver side CV boot is torn. I have a 2005 Legacy 2.5i with automatic transmission, so will this be the right part for me? Thanks! ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I just noticed my left inner boot is leaking grease. Just called Advance auto parts, my cost is $75.00 for a new one, not reman. I will say I get a good discount there with my account. They'll have it in 45 minutes. List was $116.25. part # 1700-206320 at Advance Auto Parts. No core charge. I'll put it in tomorrow. Big storm coming soon, some guy named Earl. If you have a Autopart International store, there p/n is 206320. I guess Advance got it from them. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

Max Capacity Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Just replaced my left front axle. Only problem I had was getting the ball joint out of the LCA, I have AVO and Whiteline bushings, the arm didn't want to move down. I just about had to hang on it. I also have the AVO front lower brace. I had to use a pipe on the breaker bar to break the 160ftlbs on the axle nut. I also used a cone shaped grinding bit to cut the bent over piece of the old nut. I'd say it took about 1 hour 30 minutes. Getting the ball joint out we a nightmare, damn bushings. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

We had a problem in the past were the turbo and non turbo vehicles were different. The only reason for this mix up is because of the way the manufacturer was making them. The listing above however is an empi axle and it will fit for either application. These were the original axles that were being sold at the beginning of this post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAMMER DOWN Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 if the picture is accurate it looks correct, too No it's not. Are drive axles don't have a gear on the shaft to drive the wheel sensor . We have a magnetic pick-up system. A sensor is mounted in the steering hub & a magnet is mounted in the backside of the wheel bearing. So I hope just the pic. is wrong.

Th3Franz Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Are the EMPI axles left and right specific or doesn't it matter? -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notthesnail Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I bought two of the same EMPI axles from Mac. Unless I was sent two with different numbers, and by pure chance I installed them on the correct sides, then they aren't side specific. Installed easily, excepting siezed bolts, and they drive fine. No unexpected noises or vibrations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbone Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 It doesn't matter. Didn't you read the brochure? The Subaru AWD is symmetrical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macautoparts Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 The axles are not side specific. I am going to take an actual picture to make it a little bit easier for everyone to see. It will not have an abs wheel on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
