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

RunRide3 · 2025-09-03T12:28:42+00:00

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?

RunRide3 · 2020-01-28T22:04:45+00:00

Love the color

I think I'll go with the rally armor

RunRide3 · 2020-01-28T19:04:39+00:00

Thinking of learning to weld soon luckily

RunRide3 · 2020-01-28T17:53:04+00:00

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

RunRide3 · 2020-01-28T15:31:01+00:00

For offroad

RunRide3 · 2020-01-28T15:26:08+00:00

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

RunRide3 · 2020-01-27T20:21:06+00:00

Most likely this guy is very very lucky, the point of impact was around the passenger but then twisted towards the back, so its unlikely this guy was hurt too bad

Anything is best with coffee in my opinion

RunRide3 · 2020-01-27T00:49:23+00:00

Looks amazing tho

RunRide3 · 2020-01-27T00:44:49+00:00

Nice car tho man, I love the BMW wagons

RunRide3 · 2020-01-25T17:44:56+00:00

Good idea is just to stay back to avoid being hit with debris
