i fixed you long run on sentence, so people can actually read it.
I picked up a 2011 Outback sport for my kid. the wheel bearing sounded bad so I ordered a new one. went to put it on, the wheel bearing was seized on the drive shaft. when I pulled it out, the drive shaft came out of the diff and fell down, which broke open the boot. and I thought why not just buy a new one, instead of trying to fix that one. it was all greasy, I threw it in my trash can. I've ordered five and they've all been wrong. they either come with 27 or 25 splines and none of them fit this one, definitely has 22 splines. I only threw half of the drive shaft, I had away, because I didn't want to get grease all over my desk. the other half was in my scrap pile, so I still have the input shaft and it's definitely 22 splines. obviously this motor in the car has been changed out because it has marks from a scrap yard on the top of it. someone please help. is anyone familiar with a 22 spline rear CV shaft? how do I identify what motor and differential are in my car? I'm lost. I've ordered five. Subaru tells me this car doesn't exist. I don't know what to do.

Find the serial # on the motor or part # on the shaft.

Yeah, the motor should have a serial number on the top front right of the block if memory serves. That should help

actually a little bit of research is suggesting that some legacies at least have 22 spline cv's. rockauto has them under "2005 legacy" if you want to check that out
