Title: Lousy solution for a cracked boot
Product review: This part is shown in many places I checked to be "Exact Fit for your 1996 Subaru Legacy Outback". I liked the idea of saving the time and effort of removing the whole axle assembly, etc. It is NOT an exact fit and it CANNOT BE MODIFIED to be an exact fit. (I'm yelling on purpose) I wasted 3 hours and 20 bucks on this part and where I'm annoyed is- DORMAN KNOWS IT DOESN'T WORK, BUT THEY ALLOW IT TO BE SHOWN AS AN EXACT FIT BY THEIR RETAILERS. Don't buy it unless you have used it before and you KNOW it works for the application. Dorman doesn't supply dimensions to ensure fitment- your only shot at that is to go to the Dorman website and see if your car is listed. Apparently they don't mind if their retailers give out wrong info, but they don't want to- not directly. I wouldn't trust them on this one, after having had the experience. Hey I could have bought a complete remanufactured axle assembly for 50 bucks, which is what I'm going to have to do now.
