How to Remove a Driveshaft on Subaru Forester?

Disconnect the negative battery terminal and remove the heat shield and differential mount front cover. Mark the rear U-joint yoke and differential pinion flange, remove the bolts and nuts attaching them, and remove the center bearing bolts. Remove the driveshaft and plug the extension housing to prevent leakage. Lubricate the sleeve yoke splines and insert into the extension housing. Raise the center bearing, install and tighten its bolts. Align the marks, connect the yoke to the flange, tighten the nuts and bolts. Reverse these steps for installation.

What is the role of the driveshaft,Axle Shaft and Universal Joint in a power transmission system on Subaru Forester?

The driveshaft, connecting the transaxle and rear differential, uses a splined sleeve yoke and is bolted to the differential pinion flange. It has universal joints at both ends and a third behind the center bearing, a ball-type bearing in a rubber cushion on the vehicle floor. All models have two front and rear axle shafts, with an inner and outer ball-and-cage type CV joint or a "tri-pot" inner joint. Driveshaft issues are typically signaled by noise or vibration during driving.
