note the race and ball assembly typically falls apart, I believe the race goes behind the ball assembly and only with wear does it slip on over the front.
Thanks for the video! I have an 07 Forester XT - the boots wear out being so close to the Downpipe! Aftermarket axles are total crap, and the replacement is $560 or something last I checked. Found a guy when I was living in Houston who rebuilt all the axles for the dealer and I did a swap for $50. Moved up to Seattle and looks like I’ll be on the hook for the job this time. Thanks for making it look manageable!
Probably saved $150 per axle. Might’ve spent $50 for all the stuff I needed vs however much a new non oem axle costs. If you get oem it’ll be even more money.
I just replaced my cv joint, 2007 outback. It was ripped, making a loud screeching machine like sound. I still got the old part. Would doing this make it drivable? That noise was kinda bad thinking its a gonner?

@@moy6569 mine hadn’t made any noise. If it’s making noise it’s probably gone
They go bad beacuse the industry uses that shitty black moly grease. Im gonna do a build using MOBIL 1 SYNTHETIC RED GREASE.
