Alrighty, seems while thinking I drive a rally car I cracked a u-joint cap, front u-joint, rear shaft. And you all know that all the books say it needs a new shaft. My cost on the shaft is about $610.00. Looking for someone that can just replace the 3 u-joints. Or a hint on where to call. I have looked at used, my worries are these shafts are know to be junk. Hate to replace a junk shaft with a 75% junk shaft.
Of course like any customer, I'd like it today! (haha) There is ice fishing to be done.

Re: 2002 Subaru Forester - D-Shaft
Unclear as you say front joint but rear shaft?
Quick look at Car-Part.com filtered to Michigan reveals front (2 versions prod date break) or rear shafts are all less than $100. Many at $65 & $75 from 2000-2002 vehicles. The fact there were so many listings cheap indicates two things:
1. They don't sell a lot of these
2. Most don't drive them like you.

Re: 2002 Subaru Forester - D-Shaft
Mine car is AWD (or it was). I need the drive shaft that goes from the transfer case/transmission back to the rear end. It's a two piece shaft. Busted a big junk of the cap off the front u-joint. I'll go to car-part and see what I can find. Thanks

Okay DRIVE shaft, I was looking at AXLE shaft.
This is a front to rear with at least 2 sections CV in it. CP does show a front AT for about $100. Probably more results in other states....

Re: 2002 Subaru Forester - D-Shaft
Had one of these a while back, and I went with a used shaft of off Car-Part. Just checked the shaft when I recieved it and installed. Customer is still driving the car today. Got to love Subaru!!!
Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved.

Re: 2002 Subaru Forester - D-Shaft
I think we can call this one fixed. We ordered 1-0430 u-joints from Car Quest. They seam to fit well. Shaft is still on work bench, not yet test driven. But with 15 inches of snow coming tomorrow I am thinking i'll put it to the test. Hope it works! The 88 Honda carburetor isn't liking the cold weather.
