Subiworks - Long(er) travel axles.... Eye candy

• Add to quote

Very interesting!  

What other suspension mods you running? edit: saw this was a pic from their facebook page  

Ooh, this is awesome! Following this, for sure.  

This Porsche 930 CV kit should be very useful to all raised up Subarus. I went the long travel HotBits coilover setup 6 years ago and had to purchase front Heri HD axles (nice concept, bad quality). After 2 years, I had to look for stronger axles with minimum 30° inner CV angle (OEM Forester is 25°) but couldn't find anything off the shelf but as I was looking for rear axles at the wrecker, I saw some larger front OEM Subaru axles with 32° inner CV angle....that came out of a SVX. They are a nearly direct swap for SF Foresters but need to be associated with SG A-arms (1 cm wider than SF A-arms) because the tripod hits against the bottom of the cup on full droop and grind 3mm OD off of the shoulder of the outer CV to fit the Forester hubs.  

Who would have thought that 930 axles would prove to be a good off-road upgrade for Foresters...cool stuff!  

I spied with my little eye....  

And while spying, do you know if these 930 axles are capable of more than 28° angle ? Nice video by the way !  

Holy bejeezus...  

@moozie129 .....  

any of y'all herd any updates on these?  

I haven't seen anything... Perhaps, give them a call. Subiworks - Conversion parts and Accessories that Work ! | SubiWorks - is dedicated to bringing the best quality Subaru aftermarket auto parts as well as off road kit With SubieFest coming up this fall, they may have a booth...  

Following! Very cool  

Christmas Release....  

@HeyChris thanks for the Subiworks video, those look awesome!

2022 Subaru Forester Touring Review: Quick Take

Recently, we held a massive 2022 AutoGuide Compact SUV Comparison test presented by NRS Brakes . We’re now going to take a closer look at one of the entries in that massive match-up, the 2022 Subaru Forester Touring.

The Forester is firmly entrenched in the status quo. Throughout the vehicle’s 25-year history, the template for Subaru’s compact SUV hasn’t changed much, including the styling. When was the last time a new-generation Forester looked completely, revolutionary different from the vehicle it replaced? The correct answer to that question is never.

Exterior Style

Maybe though, that’s the point. The Forester continues to be a huge seller for Subaru and many customers are extremely loyal not just to the brand, but the Forester itself. There are good reasons it never changes its boxy shape and why consumers keep flocking back to it.

Although visually uninspiring, the vehicle’s squared off body leads to terrific sightlines. The amount of glass on all sides of the Forester creates a greenhouse unmatched by any of its competitors. The cargo area is large with a wide-opening rear hatch that allows easy access for loading and unloading gear. The rear seats were rated the most comfortable in our mega comparison test, providing decent legroom, good cushion support and excellent headroom.

Ride Quality and Comfort

While on the topic of comfort, the Forester’s long travel suspension allows it to float over most road imperfections, swallowing up broken pavement that unsettles some other small SUVs. It’s a benefit of Subaru’s symmetrical all-wheel drive set-up that allows each wheel to move further up and down to match the road’s surface. Despite this comfort advantage, the small SUV still offers acceptable handling, about average for the segment.

Of course, we can’t talk about a Subaru without bringing up its poor weather performance. It may have been a beautiful summer day during our evaluations, but the snow is coming. When it does arrive, the Forester will be ready. It’s more than capable enough to handle the worst the season has to offer, thanks in part to a standard 8.7-inches of ground clearance and Subaru’s X-Mode.

Tech and Safety

On hand for evaluation is a fully loaded Touring trim, or Premier in Canada. It’s well equipped and includes items like DriverFocus, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and a panoramic sunroof. All of the latest safety hardware is present in the Forester, with the majority being part of Subaru’s EyeSight safety system .

The interior design is well thought out, using premium soft touch materials on most surfaces. We appreciate the programable three information screens, even if they are beginning to look a bit dated.

Powertrain and Efficiency

Things are less positive when it comes to the drivetrain. In our comparison, it ranks as the second worst engine/transmission combo. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder Boxer engine makes 182 hp, which is on the lower end of the segment, and only partners up with a continuously variable automatic transmission. Under moderate acceleration, the drivetrain is noisy and lacks the power and refinement of some key competitors like the Nissan Rogue , Toyota RAV4 Hybrid , and Kia Sportage Hybrid .

With an official EPA consumption figure of 29 MPG combined, the Forester is fairly efficient, but can’t match the more powerful Nissan Rogue in terms of outright fuel economy performance. Still, the Forester does have full-time all-wheel drive and is one of the better fuel sippers when it comes to small SUVs powered by naturally aspirated engines.

2022 Subaru Forester Touring: The Verdict

As it stands, the Forester has a lot going for it and we see why it’s so popular with consumers. But the drivetrain is a bit of a letdown. If Subaru was willing to significantly overhaul the drivetrain with a small, turbocharged engine, or better yet, an advanced hybrid system, it would go a long way in putting the Forester in the same conversation as the class leaders.

In its current configuration, the Forester is a solid mid-pack performer. For the potential customer that’s looking for an easy to maneuver, comfortable, hassle-free compact SUV that excels in poor weather conditions, it’s well worth a look.

What is the touring package on a Forester?

The Touring package is the top trim level of the Forester. It includes items like a power passenger front seat, heated rear seats, and Subaru’s DriverFocus system.

What should I pay for a Subaru Forester Touring?

The 2022 Subaru Forester Touring costs $37,170 USD after destination charges. The Canadian equivalent, the Forester Premier, comes in at $42,395 CAD after destination charges.

Which is better Subaru Forester Limited or Touring?

In terms of features and content, the Forester Touring is the better vehicle. The Limited though is the more affordable option, so it’s a question of personal value for the money.

What colors is the Subaru Forester offered in for 2022?

SubaruThe offers a totla of 11 different color choices for the 2022 Forester including: Cascade Green Silica, Horizon Blue Pearl, Magnetite Gray Metallic, Crystal White Pearl, Brilliant Bronze Metallic, Crystal Black Silica, Crimson Red Pearl, Ice Silver Metallic, Dark Blue Pearl, Autumn Green Metallic and Geyser Blue.

What is the cargo room of the Subaru Forester?

Official specs for the Forester put cargo rom at 28.9 cu-ft behind the second row or 74.2 cu-ft with the rear seats folded flat. Those numbers shrink slightly on models equipped with the sunroof.

How Much Can the 2022 Subaru Forester tow?

Most trim levels of the 2022 Forester can tow 1,500 lbs, with the one exception being the Wilderness edition, which can tow 3,000 lbs.

How much does the 2022 Subaru Forester weigh?

Forester weight depends on the trim level. For a detailed list of weights by trim, see below:

Base: 3,454 lbs

Premium: 3,528 lbs

Sport: 3,538 lbs

Wilderness: 3,620 lbs

Limited: 3,552 lbs

Touring: 3,594 lbs

Right on, Joe. Anyone that lives in or near the Sierra Nevada leans to, or demands AWD/4WD. Jeeps and Subarus are predominate, for those reasons. It has to do with self preservation, not granola or Birkenstocks. Finally, high quality snow tires (not all season) are required when traveling in the Sierra in the winter. And a FWD with Blizzaks for example will out perform a 4wd/AWD with all Season tires. Seen it aa thousand times around here.

Enjoyed my 2016 Forester. It was only SUV with a large opening for the sunroof. Im hopeful Subaru will keep that feature and NOT increase the exterior dimensions in the next gen, which should be 2025 model. Im not in the market for 23 or 24 new vehicle.
