Good To Know

Q: Will this driveshaft fit my 2010 Forester with the automatic transmission? A: It is built for 2009-2012 Forester models with the 2.5L engine and automatic transmission, but driveline configurations can vary by trim, so confirm your exact application before ordering.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
