vs
Starter motor OEM Subaru or OEM FORD
Reviews
Subaru knew their customers were gonna pitch a fit about this so they way overbuilt the starter. It’s rated for 260,000 starts which breaks down to a little over 70/day every single day for 10 years. It’s also physically much larger than the standard starter from previous generations.
Pros: overbuilt, high durability rating, physically larger
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Bro I had to pull a starter off an old F-250 for a friend. Only way to get anything on the top bolt was with 3 and a half feet of extensions from behind the cab.
Cons: hard to reach top bolt
Vehicle:
