Used Subaru Drive Shafts You Can Trust

Subaru vehicles are built around Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, meaning the drive shaft is constantly engaged—not just during traction loss. Because of this, Subaru drive shafts experience continuous rotational load, especially in snow, rain, mountain terrain, and long highway drives.

When a Subaru drive shaft begins to fail, symptoms often include steady-speed vibration, rumbling under the floor, or shudder during uphill acceleration rather than sudden noise.

A tested used Subaru drive shaft restores smooth AWD operation, protects differentials, and maintains Subaru’s balanced handling—without the cost of new OEM replacements.

Whether you drive a Subaru Outback, Forester, Crosstrek, Legacy, Impreza, WRX, or Ascent, we help keep your Subaru confident in all conditions.

What Does a Drive Shaft Do in a Subaru?

The drive shaft transfers power from the transmission to the rear differential. In Subaru’s full-time AWD system, the drive shaft is always active, requiring precise balance and constant load tolerance.

Primary functions include:

  • Delivering continuous AWD torque
  • Supporting Subaru’s symmetrical drivetrain
  • Maintaining balance between front and rear axles
  • Minimizing vibration during long drives

A worn drive shaft can disrupt AWD smoothness and drivetrain longevity.

What Makes Our Used Subaru Drive Shafts Different?

Each used Subaru drive shaft goes through a strict multi-point inspection:

  • Removed from a running Subaru donor vehicle
  • Inspected for straightness and torsional wear
  • Universal joints checked for binding or stiffness
  • Center bearings inspected (where equipped)
  • Balance verified for constant AWD rotation
  • VIN-matched for exact transmission and differential pairing

Only shafts that meet Subaru AWD durability standards are approved for sale.
