2009 Forester front-end vibration


Recommended Posts

I am experiencing a front end issue with my 77K mile Forester. I get a front end vibration noise at 20-30 mph on paved-but-rough roads, and have recently noticed that the suspension pulls a bit to the right when I hit a bump with the right front tire at freeway speeds. Am suspecting potential issues with RF tire lug, strut tower, sway-bar links. Hypotheses and ideas for testing are appreciated!

swap front pair of tires with the rear tires, monitor for change in symptoms.

 

have the front-end inspected - sway bar, mounts and endlinks, steering rack bushings, tie rod ends, etc.

 

was any work done or wrecks occurred before you noticed this problem?

 

you could ask in a new thread for a shop recommendation near you in Sandy - someone may know a good independent mech. If possible, take the mechanic for a ride prepared to demonstrate the problem.
