Does my Subaru TX vibrate

Worked on the repair a few times everything in the right place it just doesn't fit right touches certain areas and vibrates the entire rear of the car making it very noisy in the cabin . Wouldn't recommend it.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Expensive

Don't buy this

Waste your money; Go to a real dealer and have your car measured for the right product. This "universal product" does not fit in every car. My 2016 Subaru sounds like a truck or car without a muffler due to the vibration of this clutch against the underbody - there is nothing that can be done about that. Don't waste money.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Negligible maintainability

Strong and direct installation

Excellent quality. Well built and perfect for my 17 Forester. My buddy is a mechanic and helped me install it in his workshop. With the right tools and a hoist this was easy. Doing this in a garage with jack stands requires more effort and frustration. I like that it's hidden and only the recipient is visible.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Read the instructions carefully and prepare all the tools necessary for this installation.

After reading other reviews I decided to buy this 3rd version Kurt hitch. Bonus: It's hidden and not intrusive! It was a bit tricky to install as the exhaust brackets got in the way, nothing the pry bar couldn't only move 3-6mm (on each side for a dual exhaust).

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • Updates

CURT 13435 Class 3 Tow Hitch - Installed in Singapore

Fits perfectly in spare tire storage and leaves no room for vibration. This causes the clutch levers to constantly bang against the outside of the spare wheel well when the vehicle vibrates. Kurt should make sure the curves around the spare tire are an inch or two wider. when stretched.

Pros
  • Dope πŸ”₯
Cons
  • Minor Trouble

Replacement Curt clutch fitted (second try, original clutch had manufacturer issues)

This setup was a replacement clutch from CURT. We have the same vibration issues as other Revain users. We think we can take out both mufflers and grind 1/4" from the corner where the muffler touches, this should stop the vibration. . GOOD, the hitch is tucked away nicely under the bumper for a neat look (see attached installation photo)

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • unreliable

Get a Draw-Tite clutch instead, they won't fit.

This hitch doesn't even come close. I checked the model number on the CURT website and this hitch is recommended for the 2016 Forester. But he doesn't fit. After all the trouble fitting the hitch it was pretty clear it didn't fit. There are two bolts welded to the frame that block the installation of this hitch (see image). But even if those screws weren't there, the hitch doesn't sit low enough to remove the bumper, so you'd have to cut off a piece of the bumper to make it work. This towbar is

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks
