I did some quick 'recearch' against this issue, there are a couple of accounts where a weak battery caused this to happen. In those cases, simply charging the battery made the problem go away.
 
... perhaps you might be so lucky?

You are due for the timing belt change at 105K, so why don't you have this problem addressed as part of your 105K service - which can be done "early" at 103K anyway. Have you kept up with the other service? The 105K service is not cheap - so have the dealer look for codes and try to find out what's wrong before you spend nearly that much in normal 105K maintenance. Have you been changing the plugs & air filter every 30K? Subaru does require more routine maintenance than other makes.

I actually had the timing belt serviced at 100k along with the spark plugs water pump thermostat, air filter , battery, and the transmission serviced. im afraid its something internal

Did the knock start right after all that work at 100K? That's a lot of work done at once and my first thought would have been that the knock might be related to something not done right, or a defective part, like a bad spark plug. Have you gone back and had them re-check their work?

My 2005 Outback GT by bobny57

I just reached the five year mark with my OB and am very pleased. At the annual service at 35,000 miles I sprang for new front brakes, brake fluid, coolant, engine oil and filter, inspection, spark plugs. Total cost $756. That's ok...you got to pay to play.
 
Only question: The mechanic didn't replace fuel filter and said it was not necessary. Does that sound right.
 
Thanks,
Bob
