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
Ask the mechanic who is willing to do the job. No other answer has any meaning.
There is an axle for each wheel.
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.
The 2000 Ram had u joints, not cv joints at the front axle.
The average cost to repair a CV joint on a 2000 eclipse is about $125. As for the half axle, this might cost about $30.Ê
To replace the rear axle bearings on a 2000 Polaris 6x6, start by lifting the vehicle and securely supporting it on jack stands. Remove the rear wheels and disconnect the brake components to access the axle. Use a socket to remove the axle nut, then slide the axle out of the housing. Replace the old bearings with new ones, ensuring they are properly seated, reassemble the axle and brake components, and finally reattach the wheels.
This is a big job requiring the use of a press to remove and install the bearing. I have done this in my own garage, taking the hub out to a local garage for the press work. However, since you are asking here, you should have the whole job done by a mechanic that you trust. It is a big job. --Ken
75#, I believe.
It is easier and cheaper to replace the entire axle. About $80.
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.
To replace the front wheel bearings on a 2000 Subaru Legacy, first, safely lift the vehicle and remove the front wheels. Disconnect the brake caliper and rotor, then remove the hub assembly by taking out the axle nut and any bolts securing the hub. Using a bearing press or a hammer and drift tool, remove the old bearings from the hub and install the new ones. Finally, reassemble the hub, rotor, and brake caliper, reattach the wheel, and lower the vehicle.
