2016 Legacy. 185,000 miles. I bought it with 35,000 miles as a lease return. It has a minor coolant leak that I'm going to repair this weekend. Replaced the oil pressure switch at 165,000. Replaced the valve cover gaskets at 150,000. Replaced both front CV at 110,000.
Reviews of OEM Subaru CV joint
The CV joint is probably the cause. I replaced both pairs in my 2012 Forester, and after four years, the left side started clicking again.
I've had a creak in what I suspect is my CV joint since I've bought it (new)
Sounded to me like front CV joints and the dealer confirmed my suspicions. Turns out BOTH are clicking. Subaru is replacing them under warranty, but it has me concerned that they failed so early. I’ve had the car since 700 miles. No hard launches, just some spirited backroad and gravel road driving (it’s a WRX after all ????), but nothing aggressive like a rally course.
100% stock.
