OEM Subaru Alternators

Batteries help start Subaru vehicles; factory alternators keep them running reliably. There's no difference between how a remanufactured alternator and a new alternator work. In your case, they're both original Subaru, and they both consistently pass power among the many electrical systems in your vehicle. However, even OEM Subaru alternators, for all their time-tested quality, can fail with age, even before an alternator warning light activates. Signs your alternator is going bad range from flickering headlights and car entertainment system malfunctions to engine squeaks and dead batteries. You could even smell burning under the hood. Worse yet, you could inadvertently cause alternator failure without symptoms, with an incompatible accessory install or bad jump-start. If your Subaru experiences electrical failure, have it inspected and run a charging system test to be sure of what the problem is. Otherwise, you can change your alternator every 7 years or every 80,000 to 150,000 miles, whichever comes first. A genuine Subaru alternator will be compatible with your model right from the factory, so it'll be your best replacement option.
