falling Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 Just picked up a '92 Legacy LS wagon (#5 sooby for me) and it has a "wiggle" when accelerating and cornering. It feels like it shifts to the left on acceleration and to the right hen you come off the throttle. Also a catching or binding feeling when cornering hard. I have heard it could be the clutches in the AWD system. If so, any repairs that woin't cost a ton of money? or suggestions to relieve the binding? Tks in advance for your help.

DerFahrer Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 I'm trying to track down a similar problem. On a very rare occasion, seems to be in the wet mostly , I have a very violent feeling of shaking and looseness from the rear end. Yet I never skid or spin or hint of losing control. I have a couple theories, which I will attend to soon, like swaybar bushings, extra crap in trunk, and yes, possibly a drivetrain problem...

falling Posted August 18, 2003 Author Share Posted August 18, 2003 Mine is quite violent as well when driving it hard, but havn't tried it out in the rain or slipperys yet. I have been talking to the local subaru techs and I put a fuse in to disable the AWD to FWD only. The wiggle is almost totally gone, just a little pull now on acceleration and decelleration. They are of the opinion it is the clutches in the transfer case that are binding. Now just a matter of time and money to fix it. Any one else have any opinions or ideas?

calebz Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 Uneven wear/mismatched tires? that might cause binding as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
