Starter motor OEM Subaru or OEM FORD

My buddy has an earlier outback that came with that system. She’s got a lot of miles and honestly it’s totally fine. The one thing is that it does tend to start HARD. It cranks that sucker over like it owes it money

I took the car to the dealership and they said it needs a new starter. It’s being covered under warranty.

I knew it had to be the starter. I had read somewhere that Subaru starters are hard to get, and my year in particular is faulty. So today, I took it to my dealer, and they said that the starter had to be replaced. On my bill, it said that the starter was taking excessive amperage. On a video on the Tube, that version of the starter has a faulty gear which causes trouble starting the engine.

the starter actually failed at 35,000km

Every single ford focus ive replaced transmissions on, that stud breaks. Every. Single. Time.

Brittle starters

these were inexpensive starters

The plastic on those is more brittle than paper thin ice.

Very common with these starters

Unfortunately a cheap starter with cheap plastic
