xoomer Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I was driving on the freeway going about 60, and the car started shaking really bad... I pulled off the wheel and the outer tie rod looks like it seperated from the boot... and had a lot of shiny looking parts... The part of the tierod that bolts to the wheel assembly looks like its coming apart... Opinions needed, Is this the cause of my shaking?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daeron Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Sounds pretty likely... most of that stuff should either look right or wrong, and it sounds "wrongish" if you ask me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralDisorder Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Sounds like a possible DOJ failure. Those can cause severe vibration, and it's happened to me on three occasions. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misledxcracker Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 The Department of Justice has failed me plenty of times Yeah, I'd check the axle... before it blows Also, check your hubs, make sure the splines still fit nice and snug in the hub. I've had one time where the axle and hub's splines were stripped out due to... i dont know. Had the same shaking... the time the axle and hub stripped, and also when I had the DOJ fail.

86BRATMAN Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 The hatch does the same thing to me. It gets pretty bad at highway speed. But since 90% of my driving is under 40 I haven't replaced my almost dead axles yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xoomer Posted July 21, 2007 Author Share Posted July 21, 2007 on the advice of this board and Superior Subaru!! I think I repaired it. I only drove like 4 miles on it but I think I got it... I pulled drivers Axle and pulled it apart Cleaned it turned the inner bearing apart and put the balls back in and greesed it up and put it back in. I made it work this after noon.. Hopefully its fixed. (at least until I can get a new car) or afford a new axle. My trip home is Up one of the steepest hills in town and it usually does it on the hill and it didn't do it tonight!!
