Whether you're repairing a Subaru Outback, replacing an engine in a Forester, fixing collision damage on a Crosstrek, or maintaining an Impreza, finding the correct replacement part can save you time and money.
Subaru vehicles are especially popular throughout Utah because of their all-wheel-drive capabilities, practical design, and performance in changing road and weather conditions. However, Subaru's Boxer engines, Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive systems, and specialized transmissions can make finding compatible replacement parts more complicated than expected.
At Midvale All Small Auto, we've been helping Utah drivers and automotive repair professionals find quality used auto parts since 1976. We understand how important it is to find a replacement component that fits correctly, performs as expected, and doesn't cost more than necessary.
We've created this Subaru Used Parts Guide to help you identify the correct components, understand your replacement options, and find affordable recycled OEM Subaru parts.
Before searching for used Subaru parts, we recommend collecting some basic information about your vehicle. Subaru has produced numerous models with different engine configurations, transmission types, all-wheel-drive systems, and factory options. Even vehicles from the same model year can require different replacement components.
Important vehicle information includes:
Your VIN is especially important because it identifies your vehicle's original factory configuration. For example, a Subaru Outback with a naturally aspirated 2.5L Boxer engine may require different mechanical and electronic components than one with a turbocharged 2.4L engine.
Subaru SUVs and Crossovers
Subaru Sedans and Hatchbacks
Subaru Sports Cars
Older and Discontinued Subaru Models
Our inventory changes regularly, so not every model or component will always be available. Contact us with your vehicle information, and we'll help you search for a compatible replacement.
Before purchasing a replacement Subaru component, we recommend identifying the original factory part number whenever possible. Subaru uses specific part numbers to distinguish components based on model year, engine configuration, transmission type, trim level, and production changes. You can often find this information through:
Two Subaru vehicles that appear nearly identical may require different replacement parts. For example, a Subaru Forester equipped with a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine may use different components than an older Forester XT equipped with a turbocharged engine. Likewise, Subaru Outback models have used different engines, transmissions, suspension systems, and electronic controls across multiple generations.
Identifying the correct factory part number helps reduce the risk of ordering a component that won't fit or function properly. At Midvale All Small Auto, we can help compare available part information and identify potential replacement options.
When repairing your Subaru, you generally have three replacement options.
OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. These components are manufactured to Subaru's original equipment specifications.
The primary disadvantage is cost, particularly for engines, transmissions, electronic modules, and major body components.
Aftermarket parts are manufactured by companies other than Subaru or its original equipment suppliers. These components may offer competitive pricing, additional replacement choices, or performance-oriented alternatives. However, quality, fit, and performance can vary by manufacturer. We recommend reviewing product specifications and warranty coverage before purchasing.
Used OEM Subaru parts are original factory components recovered from dismantled or recycled vehicles. For many repairs, these components offer an attractive combination of affordability and original equipment compatibility. We help customers search for used Subaru parts such as:
Buying recycled OEM Subaru parts can also reduce automotive waste by extending the useful life of serviceable components.
One of the most useful tools for finding used Subaru parts is automotive interchange information. Subaru has manufactured numerous vehicles using shared platforms, engine families, transmissions, and drivetrain components. In some cases, a part from a different Subaru model or production year may be compatible with your vehicle.
Certain Subaru Outback and Legacy generations share underlying platforms and mechanical components. Depending on the model year and configuration, some engines, transmissions, suspension components, and interior parts may be related. However, differences in ride height, drivetrain specifications, body configuration, and electronic systems can affect interchangeability.
Some Subaru Forester and Impreza generations share engine families, platform components, and mechanical designs. This may create additional replacement part options, but you must verify compatibility by part number and vehicle configuration.
Subaru and Toyota developed the BRZ and 86/GR86 through a partnership. These vehicles share many underlying mechanical components, although differences in model year, calibration, trim, and individual parts may affect compatibility.
At Midvale All Small Auto, we use professional automotive parts information to help customers search for compatible replacement components.
Subaru vehicles use several distinctive mechanical systems that require careful identification when purchasing replacement parts.
Unlike conventional inline engines, Subaru Boxer engines use horizontally opposed cylinders. This design has defined many Subaru vehicles for decades. Common Subaru engine families include:
These engine families include different naturally aspirated and turbocharged configurations. Engine availability varies by model and production year.
Before purchasing a used Subaru engine, we recommend confirming:
Subaru engines can have important differences in cylinder heads, intake systems, sensors, and engine management systems, even when they share the same displacement.
Many modern Subaru vehicles use continuously variable transmissions, commonly called CVTs. Subaru's Lineartronic CVT systems are designed to work with specific engines and all-wheel-drive configurations. When purchasing a used Subaru CVT transmission, we recommend verifying:
A transmission may physically fit but still not be compatible with the vehicle's electronics or drivetrain.
Most Subaru vehicles sold in the United States use Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. Depending on the model and transmission, Subaru AWD systems may include:
When replacing Subaru drivetrain components, matching the correct final drive ratio is especially important. Installing mismatched drivetrain components can cause mechanical damage. We recommend verifying all applicable drivetrain specifications before purchasing.
Start by understanding the component's condition, compatibility, and warranty coverage. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing:
If you're purchasing a used Subaru engine, it's important to understand exactly what is included. Some engines are sold as long blocks, while others may include intake components, accessories, or additional equipment. We recommend confirming the engine identification, available mileage information, and any known condition details.
For Subaru CVT transmissions, confirm the exact application and whether the replacement assembly requires electronic programming or calibration. Transmission compatibility should include verification of drivetrain ratios and electronic control requirements.
For doors, hoods, bumpers, liftgates, and other body components, we recommend checking:
Many newer Subaru vehicles include Eyesight driver assistance technology, which may affect the compatibility of certain replacement components. Our team can help explain available part information and purchasing options.
