Universal Joints and Driveshafts for Subaru Outback

The Subaru Outback is considered by some to be the first crossover vehicle, combining the traits of a wagon and an SUV. With moderate off-road capacity and large trunk space, the Outback needs optimum performance in efficiently transferring power from its engine to the road, a feat which is accomplished through parts such as universal joints and driveshafts. In this parts category you will find universal joints and driveshafts for Subaru Outback, including those with Limited and Premium trim levels.

The Subaru Outback has many parts that share compatibility with other wagon models manufactured by Subaru. This shared compatibility occurs because of an overlap in Subarus branding, and gives you additional options when looking for universal joints and drive shafts.

The Subaru Outback was originally introduced as a second-generation derivative of the Subaru Legacy and was given the name Legacy Outback, which was later shortened to Outback. The two lines have diverged over the production generations but are still similar in many respects.

At the same time, the Outback Sport is derived from the Subaru Impreza and continues to share many similarities. The Sport, however, has been re-branded as the Outback XV. Because of the similarity between the three models, many parts are compatible. The Limited and Premium trim levels may also affect parts applicability.

The mechanical system in a vehicle that transfers engine power to the road has several terms that must be understood when purchasing replacement parts. These parts include powertrains, driveshafts, and universal joints.

• The powertrain in an automobile such as the Subaru Outback is the mechanical system that provides power to propel the vehicle. The powertrain includes the engine, transmission, drivetrain, and wheels.
• The drivetrain refers to the assembly of rods, joints, and differentials between the transmission and the engines, including driveshafts.
• A driveshaft, which is sometimes called a propeller shaft, is a rigid rod that transfers rotational motion from the engine and transmission to the wheels.
• A universal joint, which is sometimes called a universal coupling or u-joint, is a hinged coupling between rigid rods that allows rotary motion in one plane to be re-oriented into a different plane. In an automobile such as the Subaru Outback, universal joints connect between driveshafts to reorient rotary motion from the transmission to the axles.
