99 Forester Clicking under heavy load.


Recommended Posts

190K Automatic Transmission.

Runs well, new to me.  Slight clicking FWD or REV when starting out mostly.

I did put it up on a lift the other day.  Driveshaft u-joints look OK.  No noticeable movement.  The Driveshaft does have 10 Degrees of rotation.

The FWD Half-shafts are aftermarket, so I would think they may be the source.  They feel tight.

Rear Half-Shafts are good and Subaru.

Front inner axle joints.  Aftermarket axles highly suspect. Might get away with regreaseing the joints but simpler to get some used Subaru axles. 

Front diff can do it too but I’d expect you to tell the difference.
