    2003 WRX 4eat. I need to replace the front left due to torn boot. Same part as the 5MT?

    The parts guy at Morrie's said (with a straight face) it would be ~$500. He also let me know they are indeed different part numbers. Wow...

    He burst out laughing once you walked out the door.

    I think every dealership employee laughs at customers almost every day.

    Likely different part numbers, but should be interchangeable. Sedan and Wagon would be different.

    Yea, IIRC Subaru has been discontinuing a lot of their reman axle options.


    New aftermarket ones are getting cheap. With pretty good results, but still far more failures than OE (just submitted a warranty claim this week on one, I hope they pay labor, or we're loosing money on the whole deal). Personally, I still reboot OEM axles. It's a messy job, but for less than $50, you can rebuild the axle yourself and it will outlast the car.

    I'll see what I can do about being on the other side of you so you can be surrounded by all things Subaru.

    You get shamed if you talk about the "hot girl(s) driving a Subaru" around here. Haha.

    Besides, if it's a block party with just dudes there shouldn't be anybody to b!tch about the amount of non-running Subarus sitting around.
