Use a torch to heat up the bolt and thread before you loosen it. This way you wont break the bolt, which I accidentally did on mine and gave my self an extra 2 hours of work.
It is a staked joint drive shaft. It is not meant to be serviced.
To replace a CV boot on a 2002 Subaru Forester, first, lift the vehicle and remove the wheel. Then, detach the axle from the hub and slide it out of the transmission. Remove the old CV boot clamps, clean the joint, and apply new grease before fitting the new boot. Finally, secure the boot with new clamps, reassemble the axle, and reinstall the wheel.
No. Subaru makes Subaru. The two companies did do a joint project. Toyota makes Lexus and scion.

how do you replace the drivers side drive shaft and cv joint?
Just a guess... but the constant velocity joint maintains appropriate speed on the wheel while in a turn.
could be tires, unbalanced wheels, bad u joint, bad ball joint, bad cv joint, or loose suspension bolts.
To replace the CV joint on a 1991 Subaru, first, safely elevate the vehicle and remove the wheel. Then, disconnect the axle nut and remove any retaining bolts that secure the CV joint to the transmission or hub.

Finally, reassemble the axle, reinstall it in the vehicle, and torque all fasteners to the manufacturer's specifications.
There's three bolts holding it on to your control arm. Take those bolts off, and put your new ball joint on.
It is fairly simple, easier on a manual transmission. If you search for subaru forums, a lot of them have do it yourself write ups, with pictures even!
