Thank you for this video. I went to rock auto online and ordered a new drive shaft for my 2003 forester, it arrived 2 days early, costs only $302.00. I was quoted a total of $800.00 to $1000.00 to have a shop replace it. All 110 lbs of me did it myself. It was so easy, if there’s a will there’s a way. Plus I saved hundreds of dollars! Who needs a man 😂.
Thanks again. 👍🏼
way2go. can you say what kind of symptoms you had before the replacement and how much it helped replacing the shaft?
I need my shaft serviced
Nice! You have to deal with any rust? Whenever I watch one of his videos I have to remind myself I live in Michigan before jumping into a repair lol
Job well done! Mind sharing the symptoms that pushed you to diagnose this issue? Thanks!
How did your part hold up, after one year on the road?
Thank you for the time you've put into these videos. They are the best ones I've seen so far. I really appreciate the clear labeling and smooth visuals
I just finished replacing my driveshaft on my 05 Legacy Wagon. Thank you so much for making these videos. It made a seemingly daunting (feeling) repair job easy as pie.
Glad to help! 👍
My drive shaft just died in my 05 Legacy Wagon as well..
Thanks for the detailed video. The U-joints actually are serviceable with a press and a drill press to clean up the bearing bores. The new ones can be re-swedged once or grooved for circlips. However replacing the entire driveshaft with a one-piece unit is really a great option...
This Outback has needed a lot of work! The good news is it makes for great videos.
NO NONSENSE diy video. Thank you!
Thank you for all the Subaru how to tips, they have been Lifesavers.
+terry franks glad to be of help!
I love that the heat shield is not rusted of the bolts and is not held in place with zip ties.
Thank you for this video. I’m currently trying to remove the back of the transmission housing to replace the Transfer clutch solenoid. Not an easy process especially since I live in the Midwest where cars get an insane amount of rust. I had to cut the exhaust to get to the transmission housing.
Parts and tools list would take your A+ Videos to A++
Glad you like them!
Holy shit! I spent a whole day taking the exhaust of my 95 legacy and I didn't need to? Haha. Thx for the video
Good video, i is constantly repairing my legacy bl5))
Thanks man. You are super good at this.
How much play is allowed in the carrier bearing?
What a great video, this is all I need
Tks u for repair video!
Learned a lot!
Just one problem.
Recently, I got noise from under parking brake handle when near 40km/h ,
could I removal drive shaft to isolate noise for drive test
Thank you
Hey Mr. Subaru can't thank you enough for this video, you saved me from purchasing a faulty used driveshaft to install on my vehicle! QUESTION: Usually I prefer good junkyard parts to re-manufactured but i cant find any so in this case would you recommend for or against using a re-manufactured driveshaft?
my stepson just got home. his 04 forester was making a wretched racket. we got the prop shaft out (piece of cake) and that u-joint was literally missing little pieces! how did it not explode? I'll pickup a used one today. thanks for another great video!
A little caution to those watching this. I would recommend putting in a new trans rear seal in before putting in a new shaft. I was not careful when I re-installed my driveshaft (plus it was late and dark and I was tired) and I damaged my seal. Put the whole thing back together and drove it to pick up some things across town and lost almost all my trans fluid. Fortunately I realize I was blowing a lot of smoke and stopped before doing damage. Ordered a new seal from Lancaster County Motors for $10 and now I have to do it over again.
One other thing....those 6 bolts on that back cover were incredibly hard to get out. One requires a U joint to get at since you cant go straight in. I wasn't going to bother with the air impact gun, but even that struggled to get them out. I cleaned the bolts with metric die and the nuts with a tap before putting it back together. They were 10 X 1.50 I think.
Yes they are.
Did you put anti-seize on them, too? I want to put my new shaft in tomorrow after work, but haven't gotten a seal. I hope the NAPA store (only parts store within 50 miles) has it in stock.
@@midi510 It has been a year ago since I did this, but I usually do that. I keep cars a long time, and I use it quite often.
@@midi510 They might have some generic one. There are lots of places to get Subaru parts online, but then there's shipping cost
I'm sure this is the same on a 93? Very helpful, and thumb up.
tres bon video merci j aprend beaucoup la mecanic grace a vous
+moutik scania Heureux que vous appréciiez mes vidéos.
This vid is sweet to learn. I have a 2005 forester xs. Is replacing the propeller shaft assembly the same process like this video?
Hi Mr. Subaru, hi guys! Very good video Thanks! One question: the car can go without a propeller shaft, if there are no spare parts? (Crosstrek 2013 / 2 liter Diesel)
The camera angles are great and very helpful, but made me reach for a face mask :)
Great video and the process is the exact same for a 2003 forester? ( read in previous comments it was for the 2001 forester) Is there anything specific action that can cause the u joints to fail? Like dropping the clutch, downshifting too much or maybe driving on rough roads too much before replacing front shocks (too rough a ride for too long?) just curious as to if this repair can be avoided in the future. My chassis has 188,000 miles on it. New motor, amongst other things. So I can see myself having to systematically replace suspension parts, opposed to buying another used car. My body and interior are in excellent shape and I’ve replaced (or had some else replace) many misc. parts over the past two years (new motor, front shocks, clutch assembly, starter, Bank 1 sensor 1, fuel pump, new front brakes and rotors, hood, headlights , quarter panel, rear door, etc) so at this point I’ve got too much invested to NOT repair it....
My 2005 subaru legacy wagon propeller shaft is shot and I got a new one which was matched to my vin number but it seems to be a different length from the one in my car. Any suggestions?
Is there a way to replace the center support bearing (carrier bearing) on a 2006 WRX? Or is it made into the driveshaft?
Trying to diagnose mysterious noise on '05 Outback. Replaced brakes (needed) and both axles and bearings. Noise persists. Starting to think it may be the u-joint in the propeller shaft. I hear the following noises: When just starting car first thing in morning, I hear what sounds like rubber making a rubbing noise. Kinda a groan. Then while driving I hear intermittent screech/whir. When the noise stops, it usually does so with an abrupt clunk. Most noticeable at lower speeds. I know it's hard to describe and diagnose noises, but I'm trying to save some money before replacing driveshaft. Thanks! Great videos.
Best thing to do at this point would be to securely get the car off the ground on 4 jackstands and have someone drive it as you observe the drivetrain. Or, better yet, do the same on a lift, even if you have to pay someone to do it. Much safer option, but the jack stands will work with extreme caution.
Is it possible to just replace the carrier bearing?
I have on a first gen Legacy wagon before. Not sure on later models.
Update. Received propeller shaft from Subie Recycler in Colorado. Installed today. Wow! What a different. Minimal vibration, no noise, even shifts are smoother. No clunk.
Awesome video as all you do :)
What is the end part towards the front called? The one short end from the u-joint? That one is completely shattered on my sub -98 now and getting spare parts for it here in Sweden is a pain :S
Question sir where is the line marks to make sure the driveshaft is properly line up with the transmission and rear differential?
I diffidently have a CLINK when im shifting to D or R and accelerate. crawling underneath, I have some play in the Drive shaft, should it be moving on its own?
Great video!
Thank you. 👍🏻
Are you supposed to grease the front yolk before slipping it back in? I read on some cars if the yolk is not lubricated well then it can end up binding and causing vibrations. When I pulled out my driveshaft I was expecting a bunch of fluid to leak out and the yolk to be covered in oil but that wasn't the case. It was almost like a thin film.
On the topic of drive shafts . Will a 2015 wrx driveshaft fit in my 2005xt automatic? Also will a manual DS work ?
Hi I have an 09 forester non turbo, will i be able to do this without removing muffler as well ? Thanks for advice !
I had the propeller shaft changed but it still shakes at 20 miles and hour. It came prebalanced. I can tell it's the shaft. Could the other shaft messed up where it bolts to the back or slides in the front?
So is the trans end of the drive shaft just slip on? Or does is it splined with some kind of spring pin? Just the pressure holding in place?
Can a 2018 Subaru Forester manual transmission propshaft u joints be replaced with greasable. .if so is there a link for replacement
Hi Sir, is it possible to replace the centre bearing without replacing the whole set of the shaft for subaru forester SJ
I have a similar problem with my 09 Impreza Outback Sport. (hatch, non-turbo, Auto Trans.) After car sits all night, if outside temp is below 60 degree F, I have a shudder/vibration from rear of car. Not felt in steering. After you drive the car 4-5 miles, it goes away. Everything fine. It's worse in the winter with really cold temps. Even if I let the engine warm up to operating temp before driving, it still happens. Not engine related. Weird that the shudder goes away after whatever it is gets 'warmed up'. I would think it would be the opposite.
Hey guys, I've got 2015 Forester, 2.0 D automat, 90km on the clock and started having squeaky noise coming from the propeller shaft. The servise man told me, after consulting with the Subaru dealer, that the problem is the bearing in the center support. The noise is more apparent when driving in cold or in the morning. He got the whole shaft removed and called me that even the U-joints are stiffed a apparently the central support bearing is not replaceable. Wanted to ask a couple of questions:
1) could you point me to any compatibility table so we can eventually take a fully comparable shaft from a different Subaru. The Czech republic is rather a small market so need to explore the interchanging options.
2) An experience with such a problem?
3) If yes, what did you do? Replace the whole shaft, replace U-joints, replaced the bearing (if even possible)?
Thanks a lot. David
Does anyone know if the prop shaft and diff flange have to be in alignment? Or does it not matter in what orientation the prop shaft flange and rear differential flange are as long as all four bolts are installed and torqued correctly?
Excellent video quality. Looks like a old "pick and pull" driveline being installed?

Jajaja
Can you replace this center support bearing on a 2006 legacy 2.5i I've been told by a few people you have to replace the entire drive shaft and I'm really hoping I can do something similar to this.
Do you add grease to the splines ?
can this part been faulty trigger the abs , hill assist and traction light on the dash?
Hey Mr. Subaru - we have an 04 Outback that just had the U Joint fail while driving. The driveshaft is ruined, as is the piece that the automatic shifter connects to... it looks like it was pulled from inside the cabin. I can't find what this part is called so I can order it. Could you help? I need to know what the part is that the automatic shifter is connected to... thank you!
So I definitely get a clunk when taking off at a stoplight sometimes. I also get a rattle sound when going uphill in the mountains, like a clicking rattle, sort of like a bad CV clicking but it's not those. could that be the shaft as well? All fluids are good, all axles and hub bearings new. No loose heatshields. All fluids good. I'm absolutely stumped on the rattle when only going up inclines. ( '08 NA OB EJ25 )
Same here, as in comment above aswell. Was a losee U-joint. Just ordered the whole driveshaft.
With a gazillion TH-camrs focused on fixing Subaru's I'm starting to get the feeling they're a money-pit, even though the one I bought was only $500. BTW, super video!
Did you get the dorman? Thats the one I'm looking at. How'd it go?
@@dale27488 No, Rock Auto part SKP SK936917 $218.+frt./tax. I put it on 4 jack stands in my driveway and did it on my back (at 66 yrs old), not too bad would be better with a helper. Seemed to drive just fine. I only had the car about six weeks to refurb and flip.. Sold a couple weeks ago for $4,500. I have the 05' automatic so be sure you get the correct year etc when you order. Dorman's probably fine too.
Maybe, but the parts are dirt cheap.
Hey, thanks for the video. I fear this is what's wrong with my wife's subaru. It's a 98 legacy outback and it's shaken for a long time. The mechanic we take it to has replaced the back axle twice saying that was the problem and I'm thinking he's just out to get our money!! It's doing worse now. She says she's afraid to drive it because it jerks sometimes now with a loud noise. It's shaken for four years when it accelerates but it's waaaaay worse now. Gonna try and fix the damn thing myself. Tired of being screwed over.
Sounds like this could be the solution. I'd check the transmission mount as well.
I can feel a vibration in the middle of the car but I was thinking thinking of replacing the carrier bearing then realized when I called the parts store you have to replace the whole assembly, which is crazy!
Get it on amazon or rock auto much chesper
Thank you for the information about where to get it👍👍👍
Mr Subaru, I have a Suby Legacy 2004 great shape overall, except the Driveshaft, almost impossible to find a decent use one, you mention you have a work around fixing an existing?
Tony Alfaro ?
Any advice when it comes to getting the front u joint out? My propeller shaft snapped at the front u joint and I can’t get it out. I know you guys are saying it should slide right out but I’m having so much trouble
Having the same problem what you do to get it out ?
My AWD has been binding up ever since I had to cross deep water. Any thoughts? I'm going thru your videos in case I have to disassemble everything
Checked you fluids for water?
I have a 04 subaru forester 2.5x and I am looking for help to fine another vehicle that will be comparable to this any thing will help
Well looks like this is next on the list for my daughters Forester. She gets a pretty good vibration at 40mph and higher. Did tire rotation and balance, new struts and I think this is next.... hopefully this is the problem
Calvin Didericksen sane problem on 2010 forester here. Was the driveshaft your issue?
Troy Lehman lol I haven’t gotten to it lately. Busy with other stuff right now. Glad you got your fixed
caught myself squinting at 2:27, great filming! like im actually there haha
Here is my experience. I was going to try and replace the u-joints (2), but was advised by a reputable drive shaft builder who makes custom driveshafts for 4-wheel drive vehicles that it is not worth the trouble. He said I would likely run into some balancing issues and the j-joints with clips on inside are not as strong. Several mechanics told me they are not considered replaceable. Not to say it cannot be done as in video. I did remove front u-joint without a hydraulic press (not recommended) which took a lot of time and pounding. Even after grinding staked divots with a Dremel. For the time and effort, I recommend getting a rebuilt driveshaft with the clips on the outside of the u-joints. The u-joints are then easily replaceable if needed in the future. Cost to me was about $375 from wholesaleimportparts.com. Only took two days to be shipped (free) from socal to northern calif. There were some minor differences when new shaft compared to old one, but when installed everything went into place. I did put in a new differential seal, but must have dinged it installing new shaft. Now my daughter said it is leaking differential oil onto cat converter (not good). The teeth on the driveshaft must align with the differential shaft when sliding the driveshaft yoke over the diff shaft. There are two slots on the diff shaft that must align. Even after marking the shaft and diff housing, the gears in the diff can rotate out of place. It was handy having the yoke from the old shaft apart from the driveshaft to help align the two, and then to use that for reference when inserting the new shaft. You really want to insert the new shaft straight in to help avoid distorting the new seal. There is a spring inside the seal which could be dislodged if knocking things around too much. Long story short, I now have to remove the new driveshaft and replace the seal I messed up. Should go much faster this time after doing the job once.
Just received a shaft from WIP today. Wasn't supposed to be here until tomorrow. I hadn't thought of replacing the differential seal, but was wondering if there is a seal at the output of the transmission/transfer case. Since the front of the drive shaft is machined so smoothly, it seems like it's a sealing surface. Will check the manual tonight. I'd like to change the d/s out after work tomorrow.

Thanks, I actually saw that one later last night.
Hey mr subaru. Having some troubles with my impreza rs 2004 automatic model. I go into drive or reverse and the whole car jerks and makes a horrid bang from underneath. Replaced both engine mounts and my transmission mount. Thanks if you can help out
Then its probably the center support bearing. Easiest thing to do is replace the whole driveshaft
I just received my center bearing for my 05 legacy outback it was matched to my vin. Any tips on how to replace it?
Just an add on it's an 05 legacy outback wagon semiautomatic

+rxburnkyle nope. Different prop-shafts I'm afraid.

I came here to see how to replace the drive shaft carrier bearing..... You got anything on that?
My first thought when u said the u-joints were bad was, its just u-joints just pop em out and put new ones in, and then you said their non serviceable. I will be interested in the workaround that you were talking about in the vid, in the next video.
+Longtrailside the u joint replacement video will be live in 2 weeks I believe.
I'll give it a look when you post, hopefully i will be able to watch it live. Appreciate the vids.
Is this possible with the car just on ramps?
what should one expect to pay at the dealership for this job ? nice vlog btw. thanks !!
I'm going to estimate at least $500-- that's what the properller shaft is worth, not sure what book time is for this job but i'll say 2 hours. That's close to $7-800
Is that amount of play in the carrier bearing normal??
We have a 2019 Subaru Forester Sport and had a peculiar experience. I have lived up north and had my fair share of blizzards and sub-freezing weather but here in central Texas it isn't normal. Note* This was my first year with the subaru in such conditions. We had drove in slushy and heavy snow that caked to the under carriage. We got home where it sat outside in -3 F° weather overnight. The next morning we started up the car and it made a nasty scraping, growling, vibrating noise that rattled the hubs and I. It seemed to originate under the shifter and revvedin unison with the engine. I read that ice/snow can freeze around and in the drive shaft tunnel. Is this actually a thing? Is so what is the worst that can happen? It took awhile for that terrible ruckus to pass but it required us sitting for about an hour and when driving accidentally hitting some nasty pot holes to knock out what ever remained. I apologize for the long comment but I was freaking out, I love my Subaru.
Sounds like what it was, ice packed around the drive train.
@@MrSubaru1387 thanks for getting back so quickly. I had never expected nor experienced such an event. I am surprised that even happens.
Thank you 😊
Can I run my Subaru without the rear propahaft say for 2-3 months whilst saving money to replace it?
My Jeep I'm running with only x1 propahaft.
No..
What year is this Subaru outback what engine and is it auto or 5 speed?
I'm trying to find out because I just need the rear part of the shaft, just my 02 outback 2.5 5 speed has a blown out rear u joint
1998 Subaru Outback, EJ25D 2.5L, automatic.
Would this process be pretty close to the same for an 01 forester?
Should be identical.
is the removal and replacement the same or similar for 2.5L and 3.0L?
Yes.

Any tips on getting those 4 12mm bolts off the differential? Mine are on the tight and I've started to round off the heads so I'm afraid to continue. My project is a clutch replacement so I can't exactly drive my car to a mechanic
They're rusty? They should turn before they round off. Might be the wrench you're using. Side note. It's easier to pull the engine to do a Subaru clutch replacement than to pull the transmission. If it's an option.
MrSubaru1387 yeah they are. I have no chose but to use an open end wrench. They placement of the bolt don't let me do anything else. But I'll look into removing the engine. Thanks for the quick reply
Why can't you use the box end?
I did with no issue.
MrSubaru1387 so.i hopped down under my car again. I looked and felt the bolts. They're almost flush with the driveshaft.
I get a thumping at low speed, seems like under the center console, I think the carrier bearing on my '04 outback is shot. Is it dangerous to drive around like that? Won't have time for a few weeks before I can tackle this. Awesome vids btw, you've been a life (wallet) saver.
Hard to say. If it's loose enough to thump around under the car, it could let go at anytime. I'd pop my head under and have a quick look-see.
@@MrSubaru1387 Thanks man. Can you just replace the carrier bearing or do you need to replace the entire driveshaft assembly?

Soak them down with penetrating oil and hope they don't snap.
Hey there. When I'm doing this job on my 2001 Forester, I cannot, for the life of me get the new shaft to go all the way into the transmission. I have to fight it tooth and nail to try to shove it in the last 2 in, but no matter what I do I can't get it in and I don't have the leverage I really need because I'm working under the car on my back. Any suggestions? It seems to slip in very easily on your video, but maybe God just hates me!?
In the video it shows him reinstalling the carrier bearing before the rear of the shaft is in the rear diff, but i think if you put the rear end in the rear diff first, you still have some play in the shaft and can work it in easier. Hope you found a soultion before me posting this, but if not give this a shot
Is it possible to replace the Carrier Bearing assembly, bearings, separately? I suspect my problem actually, might be the itself, and not the drive's u-joints. There is some "tin" sound in there, not bang, clonk, no vibration at all. Thanks for suggestions.
+johnathan smith years ago in tech school I did replace one. It was a 95 postal Legacy wagon. Where to get the carrier? I've got no clue.. Pretty sure Subaru just sales the assembly.

I have had a Subaru forester 1997 (automatic) from new (approx. 70,000 miles on the clock), that has been great for all the years with very little to do other than annual services. However, recently I have had a lot of vibration & shuddering on the wheels when making tight turns (left or right). It is difficult to identify which wheels the noise or shudder comes from and I don't feel much through the steering wheel. I have had all differentials replace that has reduced the frequency but not eliminated the problem. We hope it isn't the automatic gear box but has anyone got any ideas what to do next.
check cv axles
Done that (replace 2no.) but no change but thanks for the thought. We are now thinking it is a faulty solenoid in the central diff. Just waiting for replacement parts (solenoid; gaskets; & internal transmission fluid filter) before getting it done.

SHE LIVES AGAIN!!!!!!…..an interesting item at 3 minutes to 4:40 minutes in the attached video ( th-cam.com/video/GP7TInt4q84/w-d-xo.html )..... this was exactly what I experienced with my 1998 Subaru Forester but no-one could diagnose the problem.... £3k was spent/wasted with my Local Subaru dealer trying to fix it... but to no effect. Then I found the attached video link.... and then I found a good mechanic willing to do the work..... and yesterday we got our car back (with new solenoid in the transmission) and she runs great..... Well worth the effort.... these Subaru's can go on forever (almost) George (London, UK)
brand new timkin wheel bearings,seals,also new wheel hubs and brand new from subaru rear differential yet i'm still getting a whine at 50-55 mph during acceleration and deceleration plz help Mr.
Idk what to suggest at this point. Especially without being able to see the car in person.
@@MrSubaru1387 i understand thanks tho 😭
Wish I could be more helpful.
@@MrSubaru1387 it's all good Mr. i'll just keep trying to figure it out 1 way or the other ....if you ever find yourself in Cali hit me up bro
My new/used shaft is not sliding in. Should I need to bang it in? Or you guys think it's hitting a broken piece? In there?
I have a 05 Wrx and using a 02 Wrx shaft both 5 spd 2.0
I going to try it again tomorrow
It should slide right in.
hey Mr. it turns out i now need a driveshaft i'm just wondering if there is any truth to what that guy said in one of the comments below about replacing the rear trans seal as well when doing this job?
Might as well replace it when replacing the propshaft. Cheap insurance while you're in there.
@@MrSubaru1387 ty Mr.
You're welcome. 👍🏻
Will a '01 2.5 driveshaft fit on my '01 3.0 outback?
I believe it will, can't say 100% sure though.
It did. I risked it...but it must be an outback...the legacy is a little different. Thanks for the vids..been a huge help, and saved me a ton of money
I'm in the middle of nowhere broke my drive shift and some stole the front diferencial I can dire to find someone can helpe.
Hey is the process the same on a 2012?
Thanks in advance
Basically the same.
Great thanks again
Does the new shaft have a particular way to go on it can it just be bolted back onto the diff anyway
The flange at the differential, I believe only can go two ways. There should be an outline of the prop flange left on the diff flange. Just line it up, should be fine.
MrSubaru1387 thanks. Just wanted to confirm. I did install mine yesterday and my jerk is gone.
My vibration at 70 up is still there though
Have you had your tires balanced recently? How's the alignment? Checked all the suspension components?
MrSubaru1387 all components solid. Happens at the rear. Tires balanced. Did a rotation and swapped out to another set of tires.
also recently aligned
I'm pretty sure this is the job I'm gonna need to do, I climbed under and was able to move the shaft by hand! That is bad right?
+Seth N moved by hand in what way? Auto or manual?
MrSubaru1387 2002 forester automatic. Really bad shake in back under load, had torn front cv joints thanks to you're video was able to do that job, but vibration is still bad.
+Seth N you are seeing play in the U-joints when moving the prop shaft and differential yoke? Correct?
MrSubaru1387 The u joints them self just turn with the shaft, I climbed under my 88 4runner and that shaft moves hardly at all compared to the subue.
Thanks you for always replying. I don't know much about cars but I try and do all my own work lol
For those watching this and about to attempt the job DO NOT BUY NON OEM there is just no reason to buy non OEM for this job you will regret it so much. (I own a 2006 outback base model 2.5l 4speed AT)
Just want to comment on this video specifically because I was told by my mechanic to replace the driveshaft (big mistake) which in the end did not need to be done haha. I bought a cheap chinese one for 275 and it was not balanced (did trans mount during this time). Put back on my old OEM one with 160k on it and in doing so ruined the seal and caused a leak so I got an OEM 101k miles with better joints and replaced the seal.
is it similar on a 2002 forester
+Mers Lowwk basically identical.
for sure thanks
I have looked and looked at my Subaru and I have not found a propeller.
Una pregunta yo tengo un subaru outback 2007 cuando boy como a 30mph tiembla y se le quita luego cuando le presiono el pedal a 50mph el carro como que se detiene un poco y se escucha un golpe fuerte "pamm" y varios me an dicho que es la transmission y otros que es la disferencial la que le da fuersa a las llantas traseras
+Sergio De los santos Comprobaría los ejes y las articulaciones. ¿Qué condición son los neumáticos? ¿Están los neumáticos equilibrados? ¿Ha comprobado la alineación y otros componentes de la suspensión?
MrSubaru1387 la verdad no lo e llevado a un lugar para la alinacion de las llantas y pues el carro ace un ruido fuerte cuando le acelero a 50 y este carro lo e subido a 115mph y no temblaba pero a ora se siente que tiembla a 80mph que me recomienda que aga ?
+Sergio De los santos ¿Es la transmisión automática o manual?
MrSubaru1387 es automatica 5 belocidades
MrSubaru1387 should i record a video so you can see??
