Where can i get a rear diff mount from, other than subaru?

think mine is dead, as when pulling away the diff sounds like it is knocking on the bottom of the car...

many thanks.

If you get the knocking when pulling away gently then you should check the mountings all over the rear assembly!
There are 10 mountings and any one could be loose.
BUT
If the car steers ok when accellerating/decellerating then it is unlikly the rear is loose somewhere.
In this case check 4 mountings:
2 x on the rear diff cover that pass through 2 60mm diameter rubber bushes, and 2 x that bolt ito the body shell either side of the car just behind the rear doors by the sills.

If the first 2 are torn/soft etc (rare) then you can replace these with a lot of hard work and I would fit uprated ones from Power Flex
The other 2 are far simpler and again use uprated ones as a replacement.

Here are pics of mine:



The yellow ones are the Whiteline rear subframe diff lock bushes as they are known.

If the car bands on hers standing starts then the only way to stop this is by fitting the uprated parts.

Hope this helps you.
