    Good day all! I just replaced the radio in my '15 Forester this past weekend. Everything went fine until putting the dash bezel back into place.

    Hi everyone, The wife's 2015 Forester has been making some pretty horrible sounds when making full left turns or whenever the suspension articulates/whenever you accelerate from a stop or at low speed. It didn't / doesn't sound like the typical Cv joint noise but given that this is my first...

    I have a 2008 Forester Sport 2.5X with just under 250K miles. I purchased it with 117K miles.

    Hello Subaru community, I am in need of some trouble shooting assistance. A year ago to get my car smogged I went back to stock downpipe, reflashed the stock tune and soon after, got CEL P0172 (a/f rich) pop up.
