Reading Subaru Repair Procedures: UPDATE
I-CAR · July 7, 2023 · Subaru
Summary
This article clarifies how to interpret Subaru repair procedures, which rely heavily on illustrations rather than text. It explains that numbered areas in parentheses on illustrations correspond to a key at the bottom indicating the exact number of welds required, and that comparing removal and installation measurements typically reveals a 30 mm lap joint for sectioning.
What to do on the job
Locate the numbered areas in parentheses on Subaru illustrations and match them to the key at the bottom to determine the exact number of welds required, and compare removal and installation measurements to identify sectioning joint specifications.
How to use it
Use this document to justify the labor time and specific weld counts on estimates and supplements. When insurers question the lack of written text in Subaru procedures, use this guide to prove that the weld counts and 30 mm lap joint specifications are visually documented in the OEM illustrations and keys.
