fit just had to take the axle nut off used a 1/2 inch breaker bar with 4ft metal tube , took the 2 bolts off on the strut/shock attaching to the hub itll swing out enough to pull out cv joint , careful with abs switch it gets a little tight (you gotta roll your car so cv joint pin accessed than can be hammered out with punch or similar... its a pain thats the hardest part ) (maybe grind pin a little so it will go in easier )

Cardone 66-7259 New CV Axle came well-packaged, including new spindle nut and spring/roll pin. Installed with no problems. Road-tested with no problems, including tight loaded-up turns left and right.Most importantly, no vibrations while stopped and idling in gear, a problem on Subaru's with some aftermarket CV axles. We'll see how long it lasts: Subaru reman CV axle that it replaced lasted 115,000 miles.

Pro: axle includes new axle nut.Con:This axle did not come with a replacement roll pin.This axle doesn't match the picture.This axle is significantly longer than my existing cv assembly.This axle seems to generate a drive line vibration at 45mph under acceleration.I would order another shaft, as I don't seem to have axle bind from this shaft... but how can I be sure the shaft will be a match? I feel like the vibration is caused by mismatched axle assembly mass.What is your recommendation?

Affordable and does the job. Make sure you check for male vs female connection to the transmission. I ordered the male version after Amazon told me it would fit but realized after pulling the old axle that I needed the female version for it. Easy enough job to replace them and it came with the 32mm hub nut and a roll pin to attach them.

Used two of these on a 2002 Impreza TS Wagon. Fits well and seams to work well.For any of you installing one for the first time, I suggest once you think you have the hole lined up for the new pin that you then take a phillips screw driver that just fits and move it around a bit to make sure the hole is lined up. Then you can gently tap in the pin. Note that one end of pin is tapered - tapered end goes in first. I used a small long socket that just fit around the pin to tap it in part of the way, then I used an appropriate sized pin driver to drive it home.

Love the price. Installed without a problem as well as outer tie rods. So far so good, no shakes, shimmy, or any other adverse feeling. If it fails on me early I will update. Consider August 1 2015 as the posting date for this. If I haven't complained and it's 2020 when you're reading this, consider this to be a good part, what else can I do really?Update; October 2021:Wow weird couple of years huh? They're fine.

I am not happy with this axle. I purchased it to replace the passenger's front axle on my 2003 Subaru Outback. A quick backstory: the axle it replaced was a Cardone reman which had started knocking three days after installation. I drove on the knocking axle for a whole year before I got sick of it. I bought this brand new Cardone axle with the expectation that a new axle would not have such problems. Within a few months, the outer CV boot slipped out of the large band clamp, and the inner boot began leaking past the small band clamp.I am done with cheap axles. As far as I am concerned, the only axles you can be 99% confident in are Subaru OEM axles or Raxles axles.The most cost effective way to replace a bad axle is to find an intact OEM axle and install new boots on it. The boots are what fail after many miles in all kinds of weather and heat/cool cycles next to the exhaust. The CV joints themselves can last a very very long time. So I would-without hesitation-trust a re-booted OEM Subaru axle with 150,000 miles on it over any of these cheap aftermarket axles. If your axles are not usable, used axles from junkyards can be purchased for around $60. Boot kit is something like $12 or so.The other option are axles from Raxles. Raxles is an excellent company. You pay more for their axles, but with all my trouble with cheap axles such as the subject of this review, the additional cost was of little concern. This is the route I chose to go because I did not have a good OEM axle to reboot, and I wanted something quick, easy, and GOOD to just throw in and drive. Cost for a Raxles axle is variable but for Subarus they'll be around $150+shipping+core charge. Send back your OEM axle and you don't pay the core charge.If you're trying to flip a car with bad axles, by all means buy the terrible quality aftermarket axles, re-manufactured or new, it doesn't matter. If you're looking for a lasting repair, skip right over this axle. You might get a good one, but to best ensure that you don't have to do the same repair again in a few months, spend a little more time (reboot) and/or money (Raxles).
