08LegacyGT Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) I bought a 2008 Legacy GT with only 33,000 miles on it a few months ago. When I am turning and hit a bump or shallow curb, the front suspension makes a terrible clunking sound. I mean, it sounds like something is going to break. I actually work at a Subaru dealer and the mechanic is having a tough time trying to figure the clunk out. The sway bar bushings have been replaced and the noise is still there. HELP!!

brus brother Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Use the USMB Search function: "front end clunking" There are numerous posts with numerous suggestions and remedies. On my 2000 Legacy GT, there was a Subaru fix that dampened the power steering lines. In my case, it was a hydraulic knock (I described it as a clunking sound) but as I bought the car brand new, it took SOA time to acknowledge and then come up with a fix.
