Hi all

sorry for the newbie questions- I've picked up my 2008 S3 forester and note that it needs front brake pads and rear bushes for the front control arms. As well as a full service - fluids/filters and possibly a cam belt/tension era/water pump later this year.

The brake pads can’t wait - so what’s the deal with getting bits for Subarus? I’ve looked at eBay and there’s some stuff available but not as much as I would have thought... I’m used to hunting for parts online but for stores is it super cheap/repco etc or is there a Subaru specialist option? How are dealer prices for consumable items?

Based on Perth...

Cheers

No worries with newbie questions at all ;)

I'm also interested in the answers as I have not had to buy many parts for a long time. I got ball joints, tie rod ends and brake pads from a local supplier BrakePro Parramatta and that's about it for a long time.

Getting parts from the USA can sometimes be less costly depending on weight and for that I would contact Jackie Whetzler <jackie.whetzler@annapolissubaru.com> for a quote.
