So I decided to go for it and try and snug up the carrier bearings on my Subaru differential. As you can see in the video things don't go as planned but I also took the opportunity to show a little of how a differential works and how to set one up. I also cover the factory procedure for setting preload on a Subaru front differential so if you find yourself in a place where you have to do such a thing you'll have that information after watching this video. I've been driving the Subaru for a few days since I did this work and I can say that I really haven't noticed any difference. This might be helpful to you if you're doing this to try and address a hesitation issue with a Subaru. I don't think this will address that issue at all. In fact I feel my issue is inside the transmission which I may remove and rebuild at some point just to see if I'm right.

Stay dirty
