Nothing will reduce or eliminate the vibration other than new axles, or as I mentioned, swapping both front axles side to side. What happens is that the joints "wear in" and thus causes a vibration. When you swap sides which Subaru is possibly the only make that this is possible on, the axles are now rotating the opposite direction and wearing on the joints differently. And considering it takes about an hour for me to do, 2-3 for the average joe in their driveway, it's a free and easy fix.
