There is an axle for each wheel.
Ask the mechanic who is willing to do the job. No other answer has any meaning.
The 2001 Forrester front drive axle nut torque specification is 90 pounds. The front drive axle nut should be torqued in 45 pound intervals.
The answer is always the same. The only estimate that has any value whatsoever is from the person willing to perform the job. Start with your Subaru dealer. --Ken
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.
Any of the 4WD Subaru GLs are primary front wheel drive with either mechanical or electromechanical actuation of the rear drive axle. So, in 2WD, only the front wheels drive the car.
Go to the auto parts store and get a manual for your Forester, like the Haynes. It has a full description of how to do the job. After reviewing the procedure, if you think that your skill level is up to the task, have at it. Otherwise, take it to a professional. --Ken
It's generally advisable to change all four brake pads on a Subaru Forester at the same time to ensure even braking performance and to avoid potential issues with handling and stability. If the rotors are also worn or damaged, they should be replaced or resurfaced at the same time. However, if the front and rear brakes have different wear patterns or if only one axle shows significant wear, you may only need to replace those specific components. Always consult a professional mechanic for a thorough inspection and tailored advice.
Yes, it will and generally it is the inboard cv joint.
How do you get the axle out to change the boots on the cv joints
disconnect everything connected to the axle (make sure you label everything and where it came from) line up new axle and follow your lables and reconnect (if you have the axle out may as well change the front driveshaft universal joints while you're at)
In the 2006 Subaru Forester, the fuel filter is typically located along the fuel line, underneath the vehicle. It is positioned near the fuel tank, often mounted to the chassis or near the rear axle. To access it, you may need to lift the vehicle and work from underneath. Always consult the owner's manual or a service guide for specific instructions and safety precautions.
