Hi everyone, I just registered here because it seems you people actually work on your own cars I have a 96 Outback that has some slop in the drivetrain. Seems like it's in the rear around or after the rear diff. I need to know what bushings to look at and where they are I don't know the car that well as Ive only had it for 4 months. I also know this site isn't focused on my model but the sites that are don't seem to be filled with helpful people Anyway, I know my trans mount, motor mounts, pitchstop, and carrier bearing could use some sprucing up but the worst of it or most annoying of it is in the back. I suspect it is not the two main bushings that hold the diff to the crossmember as they look pretty healthy. I guess what I'm asking for is a pictorial tour of the rear suspension/drivetrain. Thank you for any help and I've been amused and informed with the short time I've spent searching this site.

If it's the kind of slop you feel when getting on or off the throttle, then check the U-joints.

The only "bushings" that really take a beating seem to be the motor mounts, and even then you usually don't feel a ton of play.

Thanks
