this... is... the ... reason... why... i am worried. the on/off "ramp" is short and fast. basically, need to floor it to hit speeds 50-60 on local open road. 1000 i ended up getting an extended warranty because of this... lol. 10yrs/125k miles. i'd be satisfied if it lasted this long...

thanks in advance for reading. 2016 subaru forester 2.5L base model... i have 45000 on it right now. the maintenance manual says i should be "inspecting" or changing (i guess) every 30,000. BOTH the FRONT and REAR differentials. i'm a little late. i drive in "NORMAL" conditions... don't toe...
