i get all my parts from subaru but they can be hella pricey. try checkers, napa, or redline. u should try replace it yourself if u have the tools and knowledge it's not that hard, depending on which axle. or maybe someone here could do it for some beer and poke.

Thanks HAT3R

NAPA don't have $hit....I went to Larry's on Waialae and nothing. The female that works there told me over the phone that the 2.5 motor was a SOHC. I told her no, I had the 2.5 turbo. She got pissed I guess and just told me they don't carry it. No "bye" or "sorry" just hung up. What the effff..

I was NEVER a black mamba, that was Kenny's thing.

OEM are usually better quality than NAPA brands? I know when I had my DSM I was replacing every few months with "X" name brands cause they never lasted. Bought oem and was good for few years..

Ok, sorry. You just hung out with them, I got confused.

Are CV boots that hard to find? (I haven't tried for our cars yet, that's why I was asking)

^ IIRC, I did order a CV Boot from NAPA for my 2.0L 5MT a while back. I fixed my passenger side CV boot; now I think my driver's side tore.

I checked up of a complete CV Halfshaft at NAPA the other day, and apparently they do not have a listing. It's odd that NAPA Mililani can get the STi 6MT halfshafts..

I tried Waipahu, maybe I should try calling Mililani.

I don't mind saving some money for a refurb. with a core charge.
