I have a '93 Subaru Legacy. I bought it from a close friend back in '04. Then in '06 it started making some serious grinding and vibration noises when I would make sharp turns at a slow speed. Like when I'm pulling into a parking spot in a parking lot. I try to straighten the wheel or step on the gas to silence the problem but it sure is annoying. My friend had no idea what I was talking about and she had bought it brand new back in '93. Other than that, the car's tip top. Any ideas? Many thanks

Replying to: hypster908 (Jun 30, 2009 7:05 am) Could be a power steering system problem, something in the transmission or the drive train. But I will start you off with, check your power steering fluid level. Make sure it is full and NOT over filled. If you have run it too low for too long, you may have damaged the sytem. I hear many a neglected power steering system going down the street at times making the beginning noises asking for assistance only to be ignored by the owner. After a while, the grinding starts. Get back to me either way, so we can get to the bottom of this one. That sounbds like one noise you need to know the source of pretty quick.

My '95 Legacy Outback quit running today. Will turn over but not start. I'm about to start testing the various possible culprits but I'm very suspicious that it could be the ECU. When putting the code scanner on the OBD II terminal it wouldn't even trigger the scanner. What is the power source of the ECU? Is there a fuse or relay that could be cutting power to it? I don't mind replacing it but I want to make sure that that is what needs to be done as I know they are very expensive. The car has a lot of miles but still runs great so I'd like to keep it going. Thanks for any help, Greg

I went to the Store Today and my 09 Outback ran fine. When I went to back out of the parking Slot it sounded like I'd run over something. I stopped and looked behind and under the Car but there was nothing. I got back in and tried backing up again when the sound of something dragging started again. I pulled forward and the dragging sound continued so I stopped again. I looked all over but coudn't find anything hanging. I got my Wife to pull forward slowly and stood beside the Car to see where the sound was coming from. I figured out it was the Passenger side front Wheel. I jacked the Car up and removed the Wheel. When I looked down between the Dust Shield and Brake Rotor I noticed a small object wedged between the Two. I gently pried the Dust Shield and it fell to the Ground, it was a small Pea Gravel. After this incident I wonder why Subaru put the Shield so close to the Brake Rotor because I can see this causing damage to the Rotor if not taken care of immediately. I'd say it's a fluke but if I'm off Road driving on Gravel or somewhere Muddy I could see this really causing problems. Could someone explain why those Shield are there, if there's some way I could increase the spacing or if I could just remove them all together. I know the Shields are there for a reason but if it's not a big deal or a safety issue, would it be OK to remove them so this never happens again. I really don't feel like jacking my Car up and removing the Wheel every time I drive on Gravel or mud... |
