Ionstorm66 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) So I had a bad clunking going in and out of 4WD. Tracked it down to a toasted upper differential bushing. I could lift the differential by hand. Subaru part is NLA, but Superpro makes a replacement SPF3005K. Tools needed are: 17MM 21MM Milk crate to set the diff on Hack saw Somewhat of pressing the new bushing in. Some way of lifting the car I backed it up on some 6x6 to get enough room. I couldn't press the old outer because I lacked the correct die. So I ended up cutting a slice out with a hacksaw. I used a bolt and some washers to press the new one in. So I took it for a test drive, and it was so smooth going into 4WD I though it wasn't working. Push the button and let off the throttle at any speed and you can't feel a thing. Same goes for disengaging. Edited September 29, 2020 by Ionstorm66 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
