2000outback Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 My 2000 Outback has a clunking sound coming mainly front the passenger side front end when going over even a slight bump .When I worked at a Chrysler store this was generally caused by worn out sway bar bushing.What do you think?

cookie Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Seems like a lot of folks have complained about Ouback clunks. You might do a search on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 can be a strut, a bushing, a loose steering rack... nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brus brother Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Do a Search. There is a clunk from the steering hydraulics AND a SOA fix that provides for a a dampering of the fluid to prevent the knock. This may be what you are experiencing but mine was noticeable from day 1. Is this car "new" to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Is the front sway bar intact? The '00obw's like to crack 'em at the LH (driver's) bushing. When this happened on mine, I was getting a clunking because the busted end of the sway bar was flopping around and on turns it was hitting the inside of the tire.
