Expert Answers about Subaru


  • Malone Microsport LowBed with Single Kayak Bunk and Spare Carrier
  • We can piece together a Malone Lowbed trailer by first starting with the part # MPG464-LB and then a single bunk kit part # MPG561 and then the spare kit part # MPG465 and you'd be set. There isn't a kit with just the parts you are looking for available at this time.

  • Are Keys Included with the Thule OutWay 2?
  • The Thule OutWay - 2 Bike Carrier # TH45JV comes with two keys for the integrated locks. I went ahead and attached a screenshot from the instruction manual that shows all the components. The reason why the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders # TH450400 appear as an additional accessory is because other Thule accessories (crossbars, towers, roof racks, snow equipment racks, cargo boxes) have the option for using the cylinders as extra security measures.

  • What Comes with the Annex for 2 Person Yakima SkyRise Tents # Y07421
  • The Annex for 2 Person Yakima SkyRise Tents # Y07421 is just the enclosure that you see pictured beneath the Yakima SkyRise tent in the attached review video. This is a fit for the (discontinued) SkyRise Y07407 (Red) or SkyRise HD # Y07436 (Tan and Red). The SkyRise tents are compatible with your Crosstrek but you will need to use a different roof rack if the one you currently are using is the OEM roof rack according to Yakima. Roof rack systems where the crossbars end inside the legs...

  • 7-Way Trailer Connector Mounting Bracket for 2021 Subaru Outback
  • The EcoHitch # EH34FR doesn't provide an integral bracket for installing a 7-way trailer connector. We offer bracket mounts that usually work pretty well, which will use a pipe clamp to attach to the hitch crossbar, but because the crossbar will be buried behind the bumper cover once the installation is complete, that wouldn't be a good option in this case. The Curt # C58000 Easy Mount bracket would be your best bet.

  • What is the Difference Between the ETBC7 and Curt 57672
  • The # ETBC7 or # ETBC7L will differ from the Curt # C57672 in that these two parts both come with all of the wiring, breakers, mounting bracket and connectors needed to complete the job; the Curt # C57672 is just the 7 way connector without any of the wiring, breakers or the mounting bracket. Other that than, both connectors are the same.

  • Does Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 14" Wheel Come Balanced
  • The Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 14" White Wheel # AM32161 is not machine balanced - nor are any trailer tire and wheel combos. That said, it will be ready to install when you receive it. What happens is the manufacturers line up the light spot on the tire with the heavy spot on the wheel, which is a type of balancing, although it is not the same as what happens with the tire on a passenger car. While you can have the Karrier # AM32161 professionally balanced if you like,...

  • Is Anything Else Needed with the HandRoll Kayak Carrier on a 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • The HandRoll Carrier # Y04082 that you referenced is actually just the part of the carrier that has the wheels. To complete the carrier you also need some saddles like the DeckHand # Y04083. This combination is available for your 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon in the kit # Y04083-04082 and is compatible with round, square, or aero-style crossbars. To add locks to either setup you need the 4 lock core set # Y07204.

  • Does Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer Tire Come Balanced on 8 Wheel
  • Tire and wheel combos we carry, like the Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" Galvanized Wheel # AM30070 you're asking about, don't come balanced since trailer tires don't need to be balanced. If you'd like for them to be balanced you can either use the Counteract Tire Balancing Beads for Tandem Axle Trailers # CA68VR or you can have a shop balance the tires for you.

  • Parts Included with the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 24886 for a 2008 Subaru Impreza
  • The Draw-Tite Class I Trailer Hitch, # DT24959, does not come with a ball mount. You will need to order one. To add a hitch ball, you will first want to determine the size of hitch ball that your trailer requires. You can use a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball, # 19256, or a 2 inch hitch ball, # 19258. Please note, this hitch will fit your 2008 Subaru Impreza as long as it is the hatchback model with single exhaust. This hitch will not fit the WRX STi models. If your Impreza is a sedan, not STi...

  • Does Curt Trailer Hitch 12038 Come with Lock Washers for Installation on a 2003 Subaru Forester
  • Curt Trailer hitch # C12038 does not include lock washers. So it wasn't that you didn't get them it is that the hitch doesn't come with them. Using Loctite would be a great idea. Blue Loctite is should be all you need, # LT37614. Because the red Loctite is pretty much permanent. So should the hitch need to be removed for any reason, it would take pneumatic tools if you used red Loctite. Also, make sure the bolts are torqued to the specifications in the instructions. If they are too loose...

  • Do Yakima SkyBox Roof Cargo Boxes Come with Grease In the Lock Core Housing
  • The Yakima SkyBox cargo boxes, like the NX 18 Rooftop Cargo Box # Y45AV, will come with grease in the lock core housing according to my contact at Yakima. She also did point out that the dry graphite lubricant is good to use on the external part of the lock core as well since it doesn't attract dust and dirt.

  • Purpose of the Red S Clips in Glacier Snow Chains
  • To see a picture of what the red S clips that the installation instructions are referring to check out the picture I attached. If all you have is about 1 inch of extra cable you would be fine not using one of the clips to secure it away. The purpose of the clip would be to secure extra cable back to the chain so that the excess wouldn't hit anything. But with only an inch of excess cable you would be just fine.

  • Can Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier Be Locked to Roof Rack Crossbars
  • The Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier # RR574 is a great carrier but it only has the locking feature for the skis/boards alone. So yes, someone could technically just remove the mounting hardware and make off with your equipment. To remedy this I recommend checking out the Yakima FreshTrack 4 Ski and Snowboard Carrier # Y03092 instead. This comes with locks for the skis/boards but it also has security Allen bolts that prevent anyone from loosening up the adjustment knobs when those...

  • Does Let's Go Aero TwinTube U-Build-It Slide-Out Hitch Rack # HMK901 Include LED Light Kit
  • The Let's Go Aero TwinTube U-Build-It Slide-Out Hitch Rack # HMK901 referenced in your question does indeed come with an LED light kit along with a 4-Way harness that will plug right into a 4-Way on the vehicle. I actually went out to our warehouse and looked through the assembly to verify this. The red caps at the end of the base tubes are just reflectors like you mentioned but there are 2 additional LED lights that can be mounted to the unit as well.

  • What is Included with Curt Trailer Hitch 12038 for a 2008 Subaru Forester
  • For Curt trailer hitch # C12038 you will get the trailer hitch itself and the hardware needed to install it. The other parts you need depend on what you're going to use the htich for. If you're going to be carrying a cargo carrier or bike rack you also need a support strap # 18050 per Curt's warranty. If you plan on towing a trailer you need to add ball mount # C45503 along with the properly sized ball and the wiring. Those items are not included with the hitch. For a 1-7/8 inch ball...
