Rek Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Hello all, I am very new to this forum.I leave in Tororo, Uganda, East Africa. Been with Subaru for 3 years now. Awesome product. I drive a legacy, 2002. Not so recent . Lately i have had a mind puzzling twist to my machine. At slow speeds, i get weird sound to both directions left and right. It feels like the car is moving over huge resistance and there is a thudd thudd sound? This is more pronounced after the machine has heated up a little ( moved a distance). My mechanics- ibet they may not be so smart have changed front left and rear right shafts, but nothing has changed. Any leads would immensely be useful. Cheers.

Dinky26 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I would look at your half shafts, and or cv joints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olnick Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Welcome to the USMB, Rek. Is your Legacy AWD? Did the problem develop and get worse over a period of time? Sounds like it might be torque bind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rek Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Thanks Dinky and Olnick... Olnick, yes its an AWD. I think its gotten worse. The thud sound is more pronounced after covering a distance. By the beginning of the day, you could barely notice this. And just to add, both front and reverse movements at slow speed with the wheels turned can produce this sound. You could think something is going to break. Worried... Will try follow the leads, ask for a check. Thanks people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
