  1. I think that the boot is clamped/sandwiched under the top trim-cover. Here's a parts diagram that hints at the 'clamping' possibility: https://www.subarupartsdeal.com/parts/subaru-cover-console-box-front~92121sa050.html

  4. SPF3005K you get one in each packet I fitted same to each end of the moustache bar the following week. Ordered three packets to do the three bushes. Requires the old bush outer steel shell to be removed, somehow... whatever way is your choice. Should have done this years ago Impressed with the feel just of the one above the diff. I picked out a moustache bar with cracked rubber mounts to do as an exchange Used floor jack, wheels on the ground loosened the 22 mm headed bolt with 17mm nut, and the 17's on the back of the diff, 19's on the hangers each side jacked diff a little to remove the bolt through middle mount. as the jack was lowered a bit, diff moved forward, kinking uni joints a bit, diff slid out of its two studs on moustache bar - first time I seen this happen. Made for easier remove and refit of moustache bar, slid diff forward and studs in first. Centre transverse bolt in last. tightened up, all less than 30 minutes to install my exchange moustache bar in. With moustache bar out for safety, I use a propane torch to burn the rubber out, again in a safe location, bang out centre crush tube. With hacksaw blade mounted through hole, I cut into the outer tube, to make a 10mm wide tear strip to knock out with a cold chisel

  5. uh... they can improve aerodynamics while still maintaining visibility... it is more about "styling", and the option to have a back up camera now that is driving that nonsense. and backing up with nothing but side mirrors is not that difficult, really.. yes, it DOES require one to be sure about what is behind them, but it can be done. heck, i do it all the time and I dont have a visibility problem.. old habits die hard, LOL (semis dont have backup cameras or center rear view mirrors.. you learn quickly to back up without them. same difference towing a boat or a camper trailer.. )
