Can You rebuild a Subaru U-joint drive shaft?
New/Salvaged drive shaft is your option. They cannot be rebuilt. I do not know about custom or aftermarket options. There are shops out there that will take your core and essentially build a new driveshaft, about $300 or so. I have in the past googled a few shops. Thanks for confirming the information from my mechanic. An expensive surprise.
Why does my Subaru H6 need a new drive shaft?
My 2002 H6 had squealing coming from the wheels at low speed. My mechanic replaced the brake pads, and the squealing continued. With the car on a lift he put it in gear and discovered the problem was a bad u-joint. Researching it today, he said that the u-joints are not serviceable and that I need a new drive shaft from the dealer.
Is the driveshaft the same on a Subaru Legacy?
Wheelbase is the same between the wagon and sedan, so driveshaft is the same. Really the only difference is OB or regular Legacy (carrier offset) and MT/AT (length). I have no idea why Subaru has different part no’s. Different shade of black paint on the 6cyls?
How much does it cost to replace a Subaru ujoint?

Are there notchy joints in the Subaru 07 shaft?
The 07 shaft does have notchy joints in it (why I got it for free), but worlds better than what was in there. Vibration is virtually gone, AND on my little test drive, I swear my hard downshift issue is gone, too.
Is there a back order for Subaru Outback U-joint?
Currently there is a national back order on these joints. There are three companies that sell them, Neapco, Spicer and Rockford. I sort of suspect that Spicer reboxes the neapco joints as I have bought both and they were identical. I have read mixed reviews about the Rockford joints.
How do you replace a drive shaft in a Subaru Outback?
Took the 2 bolts out of the exhaust hanger at the transmission and let it hang down a bit (I have the OBX stainless header set which has flex joints, so it might work better than stock exhaust for that). I did have to cut the nut off one of the bolts between the shaft and diff, as it was rounded, but the other 3 came out.
