View Full Version : Need Rear Outer CV Joints!

I recently trashed one of my outer CV joints. I thought I broke an axle but in actuality the CV joint self destructed. I have been searching for a source for OE (or OE spec) rear outer CV joints and can not find any! Subaru no longer sells these and aftermarket CV axles do not have the same specs for the female shaft spline count (I have tried many). Salvage yard joints are generally junk as I am in the Northestern US and the corrosion kills them.

Specs are as follows:
Male outer spline count: 24 (goes into the hub)
Female shaft spline count: 29 (mates to the axle shaft)
Seal diameter: 50mm

Originally these were found on 2002-2007 Impreza (not STI) and Forester models.

Anyone have a lead on where to get these? Or if you have a good one and don't mind parting with it DM me!

Hobby,
My available 2002 WRX (five speed) axles are 24 spline male and 25 spline female. Looks like your six speed is STI and different?

Just to be sure we are talking about the same thing I attached a picture of the cv joint in question and pointers to the spline counts. I am not concerned with the transmission side of the axle shaft (I have good cv joints for that), only the hub side.

If you have good outer cv joints you do not need, please DM me and we can work something out!
