Starter recommendation

Post by firstgenwagon »

What type of starter do you guys use in your legacy? I have a 1990 N/A Auto Legacy and the Bosch starter just crapped out, so I'm looking for a replacement. Is bosch the only choice I have? Anything better out there?

better is a relative term.
Start by staying away from the Junk at autozone/advance/pepboys/etc....

So I just went to NAPA with my old starter and they gave me a shiny new one for a great price. Man oh man are starters easy to switch on these cars! She's running like a champ now.

That's cool and all but it's probably re-manufactured... not new. This means it might last a long time.... it might not. If it's new, you're golden.

I have the starter from my '90 AT Legacy if you want to buy a good Subaru one.

I actually made sure it was new this time, I try never to buy re-manufactured parts.
