Weared CV-joints ...
Hi!
I has just been told, by Subaru service, that my outer CV-joints are weared down. My question is: Can I just replace the joints? , or must I replace the whole axle?, If I just can replace the joints, are they replaceable with Legacy, Impreza joints ? ... or ?

Yes you can just replace the joint.
In the US I believe most people find it more convenient to replace the whole axle (many parts stores sell them for around $65 as a rebuilt unit). I can't answer for interchangeability. |

Exploding parts
Have a look at the drawing on this page at Subaruparts.com, Sonar. They are for a 1992, so if yours is a later year, check the correct page for your year.

Check out www.raxles.com. Great prices, great axles, great service. No core charge, free core return shipping.
And it's a job that can be done by an average driveway mechanic with a descent set of tools.
