Villano Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Hi everybody, some time ago I bought a Legacy GE (wagon, 5sp, mt, awd, 2000 cc, year 2000) with 145000 km (90000 miles). Well, I didn't check the car right, and sooner than later I discovered symptoms of VC problems (basically, thumping at tight corners after a period of driving, irregular acceleration at very low speeds). Until now, I have lived with this (3000 mi.), but recently the car started to make a noise coming from the front end, also after a warm up period, a noise like bumper cars make (or the sound of rubber wheels of the subway). One day, abs light came on; I drove some miles with the light on, stopped the car and restarted the engine, what prompted the light to turn off and never came on again. I ask for your input, since mechanics around here are less than stellar and I don't want to start buying parts like mad... I suspect wheel bearings problems triggering the abs alerts? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
