#18299 of 18404 Re: 08 Subaru OBW, rattling noise while accelerating.. [colin_l] by oldladydriver Aug 19, 2009 (3:30 pm)
Replying to: colin_l (Aug 17, 2009 1:09 pm) If any of you want to read more about engine ping in these late model Subarus, look at the subaruforester.org forum. There's a fairly active thread right now on the same type of engine ping problem (and I've been posting there, too). I don't know much about cars, but other folks are weighing in on the problem in that forum, as well. This doesn't seem to be an entirely isolated problem.
#18300 of 18404 Tribeca Gold Paint Problem by jerrys2 Aug 26, 2009 (5:53 am)
After reading about this on the Tribeca board, I checked my '06 and discovered I have the ghosting problem with the champagne gold paint.  Have other models had this problem? Will Subaru correct even though I am out of warranty ( 49 months, 46k ) ? Thanks ,   Jerry
#18301 of 18404 Some sort of squeak by pathtomax Aug 26, 2009 (8:57 pm)
I haven't posted much lately, but I always know I can count on the crew for help!   My 2001 Outback Wagon Ltd with 130,000 miles is making some kind of squeaking noise. Imagine, if you will, the sound brakes make when they squeak. This is happening when I am driving. I drove around a Honda dealership (just peeking...still love my Subie) and driving around the lot about 10 mph, it was making the squeaking noise. I have been hearing it at lower mph only b/c I have been driving more with the a/c on and can't hear it then. Is this of concern? It may just be intermittent now but want to know if I should bring it in sooner than later.

Replying to: pathtomax (Aug 26, 2009 8:57 pm) Have you checked your brakes? Replies to this message: pathtomax (Aug 27, 2009 9:34 am) hammerhead (Sep 01, 2009 4:22 pm)

Replying to: samiam_68 (Aug 26, 2009 9:13 pm) My brakes have been squeaking all along This is not when I am braking though. Replies to this message: hammerhead (Sep 01, 2009 4:22 pm)

Replying to: pathtomax (Aug 26, 2009 8:57 pm) I'd grease up the sway bar bushings. Rubber on metal squeeks like crazy, and those things move as you drive and turn especially.

Replying to: pathtomax (Aug 27, 2009 9:34 am) I'd still check the brakes. Wear sensors on the pads oftentimes emit a squeak when they've reached a certain wear point, and they do it when the brakes are not applied.   Cheers! Paul

Replying to: ateixeira (Aug 27, 2009 9:41 am) How often should one service the calipers? Is there a kit and what needs to be done?

Replying to: phil2000 (Sep 02, 2009 5:15 am) I have the tire shop rotate my tires (it's free!) just about every time I change my oil. They're pretty good at giving the brakes a glance when they move the tires around.   Cheers! Paul
#18308 of 18404 Re: Some sort of squeak [phil2000] by ateixeira Sep 02, 2009 (11:17 am)
Replying to: phil2000 (Sep 02, 2009 5:15 am) Some say you should bleed the hydraulic fluid every year, but that's probably overkill.   I spray brake cleaner and check the pad thickness each time I rotate the tires, so about every 7500 miles.   I usually wait until 30k miles or so to bleed the brakes.
