CardinaA Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Hey All, I'm hearing/feeling a clunk upon takeoff from a dead stop at the left front wheel area of my 1996 Legacy Outback 2.2 5M w/ 148k. Three months ago, I had both front outer CV joints/boots replaced by my regular sub shop. Two weeks ago I had the oil changed at a quick lube place, and two hours later, I went over a bump, heard what sounded like a tool flying around under the car, and that was it. Today I heard the clunk for the first time and I can't figure out what shop to take it to first! Thanks for advice! Cardy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Try to isolate where the sounds is coming from better. I doubt it's just a loose tool. Check the inner CV joint. It makes a clunking noise when worn. May be bets to replace the whole half-shaft with a rebuild.

daja Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Make sure your lug nuts are tight. I brought my car to have new summer tires installed and they had not tightened the front left wheel properly? I was able to turn all 5 by hand. That's how loose they were! Thank goodness I didn't loose a wheel on the highway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
