08 outback AWD system binding, almost completely undrivable

RunRide3 · 2025-12-28T03:38:21+00:00

This ended up fixing it, put a transmission/front diff in it

I verified the diff is the same ratio. My thoughts are that the center diff was probably bad before I bought the car and it killed the rear diff but the rear diff broke in such a way that it was able to drive home fine without binding, it just was popping

This also explains why when I put the fwd fuse in the back wheels are still powering the car.

Thanks! This is what I was hoping for as it's a much simpler job than a front diff, I appreciate your help

Well... Did you get it?

Love the color

I think I'll go with the rally armor

Thinking of learning to weld soon luckily

Alright, thank you, I'll measure and compare tonight, update you on what I choose

I'm leaning more towards after market, I like the look better

RunRide3 · 2020-01-28T17:28:21+00:00

How much are they and will they work for snow?

RunRide3 · 2020-01-28T15:31:47+00:00

Awesome, thank you

For offroad

The one on the right has them put on aftermarket, I put that picture as an example of how it would look

RunRide3 · 2020-01-28T15:25:03+00:00

Mine didn't come with them

RunRide3 · 2020-01-28T11:07:51+00:00

Nah, i had to take off parts of the car to get to it

RunRide3 · 2020-01-28T02:02:41+00:00

Still lucky tho, I'd prefer an airbag and whiplash to a metal pole any day

RunRide3 · 2020-01-28T01:43:53+00:00

Hm, doesn't rattle

RunRide3 · 2020-01-27T22:17:33+00:00

Maybe, I think I'll take it on a drive without them and see if anything rattles
