The first step to replacing the rear differential bushings on a 2001 outback is to gather the necessary tools and materials. To complete the project you will need a hydraulic jack a ratchet a socket set a torque wrench new bushings and an axle puller.

  1. Jack up the car Use the hydraulic jack to raise the car off the ground and support it with jack stands. Make sure the car is secure and wont move.
  2. Remove the axle shaft Use the ratchet and socket set to loosen and remove the axle shaft bolts. Then using the axle puller remove the axle shaft from the differential.
  3. Replace the bushings Remove the old bushings and replace them with the new ones. Make sure the bushings are properly aligned and seated.
  4. Reinstall the axle shaft Reinstall the axle shaft and use the torque wrench to tighten the bolts to the correct specifications.

Once the new bushings are installed and the axle shaft is secured you can lower the car and test drive it to ensure that the differential is functioning properly.

Hi What you have are worn bushings on your door pins . I just replaced mine. You can purchase the bushings at a any gm garage the spring in the door has to be removed it is a bugger! Unless you have a door spring commpression tool (i purchesed one at my local auto parts store $18). These bushings wear and crack. Support your door , remove door pins with a pin punch, replace the bushings, replace pins ,replace spring. Hope this helped!
