Am I the first person with a 08 STi with a broken axle!!
I am the last person to try and cover up abuse and have it covered under warranty.
with the experience my buddy had, he had 800 miles on the car and was still breaking it in when the axle popped.
He is on vacation away from the computer right now, when he gets back he can post his observations when dealing with this.

the 08 sti isnt the only one that has had axles breaking. have seen plenty of early sti's with broken axles.

I also say just get it fixed.
Also was thinking if you told the dealership you hit a large pot hole on the highway they may make you go after the city if the warranty doesn't cover it. I have heard of this happening before.

i love this stuff. i here it all the time. im not sayin that anyone is at fault here but, do you guys really think that axle just popped apart because it was driven nicely. at some point in its life it got hammered on. maybe it was when it got unloaded at the dealer. maybe on a test drive. i get sick of hearing people ***** about subaru not wanting to warranty there car for stuff like this. you know they think it is abuse because at some point it was abused. and about 75% of these people are not telling the whole truth. why does a person buy an sti------ because it hauls ***. you know you are going to drive it hard..
and yes it will break!
man up . so if you are trying to stiff subaru dont get on here and ***** that they are giving you a hard time. not pointing fingers. just saying.
for those who do lie.

they know people are going to drive it fast
thats why they put HP in
engineer it better
if they engineer it any better it wont be affordable
i think they just dont like to warranty ignorance. ha ha der
the thing is sooo electronic now why not just make the clutch slide out slowly like that did that one year (sorry for the vaugeness)
i had one axle problem it was an exhaust that was teh problem
other than that no problems
