2009-2013 Forester CV Axle Pair – Front Left and Right

This 2009-2013 Forester CV axle pair is a set of two front CV axle shaft assemblies, one for the driver side and one for the passenger side, listed for the 2009–2013 Subaru Forester. Each axle is listed under reference number 28321SC000, has an overall compressed length of 31 to 33 inches (792 to 837 mm), and uses a 25-tooth input spline and a 27-tooth output spline. Easy Life Markets sells the pair for owners and workshops who want to replace both front axles in one job.

The Forester uses all-wheel drive, so both front wheels are driven through CV axles. Each axle has a constant-velocity joint at the inner end, near the transmission, and another at the outer end, near the wheel hub. These joints let the axle keep turning smoothly while the suspension moves and the wheels steer. A rubber boot around each joint keeps the grease in and the dirt out. Once a boot tears, the joint soon wears and starts to click, knock or vibrate. You can learn more about the constant-velocity joint and why it is used on front-drive and all-wheel-drive cars.

What Is Included

2 x front CV axle shaft assemblies (driver side and passenger side)

Each axle comes as a complete assembly with inner and outer joints and boots fitted. Axle nuts, cotter pins and transmission seals are not listed as included, so plan to buy new ones if your service manual calls for them.

Checking Fitment

The supplier lists this pair for:

Subaru Forester, 2009–2013, front left and front right

Forester models in these years came with different engines and transmissions, which can affect the axle used. The supplier gives one reference number, 28321SC000, for the listing. To make sure you order the correct axles:

Check the part number in a Subaru parts catalogue using your VIN and compare it with 28321SC000.
Count the splines on your old axle if you have it out: 25 teeth at the transmission end and 27 teeth at the hub end.
Measure the old axle with the inner joint pushed in, and compare it with 31–33 in (792–837 mm).

If you would like help checking, contact us with your VIN before ordering.

Signs Your CV Axles Need Replacing

A clicking or popping noise when turning, especially at low speed in car parks
Grease sprayed on the inside of the wheel, the brake parts or the suspension
A torn, cracked or loose CV boot
Vibration while accelerating that eases when you lift off the throttle
A clunk when shifting between drive and reverse

Wheel bearings, worn suspension bushings and engine mounts can make similar noises, so it is worth having the front end checked to confirm the cause.

Installation Tips

Loosen the axle nut while the car is on the ground, then raise and support it securely on stands.
Separate the lower suspension joint or strut as your service manual describes to make room for the axle.
Remove the old axle from the transmission carefully to avoid damaging the seal.
Check the transmission seal and replace it if it is worn or leaking.
Fit the new axle, making sure it is fully seated, and tighten the axle nut and suspension bolts to the specified torque.
Top up the transmission or differential fluid if any was lost.

CV axles affect steering and drive, so professional installation is recommended if you are not experienced with suspension and drivetrain work.

Why Replace Both Front Axles Together

Both front axles on a Forester cover the same distance and carry similar loads. If one has failed, the other is often not far behind. Replacing them as a pair means you only pay for the labour once, the car drives evenly on both sides, and you are less likely to hear a new click a few months later. The 2009-2013 Forester CV axle pair gives you both sides in one order.

Looking After CV Boots

The boot is the most vulnerable part of a CV axle. Whenever the car is raised for tyres or brakes, take a moment to check both boots for splits, cracks or grease leaks. Catching a torn boot early can save the joint. Avoid pressure-washing directly at the boots, and be careful when driving over rough tracks where sticks or rocks could tear them.

Who These CV Axles Are For

This pair suits owners of a 2009–2013 Subaru Forester, independent workshops and DIY mechanics who have confirmed the 28321SC000 reference number or matching spline count and length for their car.

Common Questions

Is this a genuine Subaru part? No. These are unbranded aftermarket CV axles listed under reference number 28321SC000. They are not genuine parts of the vehicle maker.

Do I get one axle or two? You get two: one front left and one front right.

Are the joints already greased? Yes. The supplier states the boots are pre-packed with high-temperature moly grease.
