I decided today to check out a few of the 'other' threads that I don't read regularly ... the title of this thread is "2001 Outback Common Problems" but so far all I see is a discussion about brake pads and rotors ....
 
while 'interesting', it's just another example of a thread that should have just been posted in an existing discussion rather than separately ...

Well, let's call it what it has turned into and also move it to the Outback board.

Looking for any help with my 2005 Outback and although I posted a message on 8/7 MEG4, no one has replied. This is my first using a forum and I am a fish out of water.
 
Would you be able to look at message #34, it concerns brakes and it's wearing me out.
 
Appreciate any help.

Thanks Mike. Can you offer any help/suggestions. The grinding is driving me nuts and I don't believe it's movement of the brake pads. Two cop friends (one was mechanic for Ford) say it's unacceptable response from the service manager, but they don't own Subaru's.

I don't see any post in this particular thread on that date, can you give us all the symptoms?
 
Auto or manual transmission?
 
Mileage?
 
Does it happen when it rains, in dry, or both?
 
Does it happen before the brakes warm up, or all the time?
 
In a straight line, in turns, or both?
 
The more info you can provide the more likely someone here can help. We'd be happy to try.

I think her posts are in a different thread in the 05 Legacy/Outback Thread. I replied over there.

Loud Noise when braking hard by cvj
Dec 21, 2008 (9:35 am)

I have a "pre-owned" 2000 Outback 3.0 Bean edition with 22,000 miles on it.
 
When I step hard on the brakes (panic-stop) I get a very loud noise or racket from the front of the car. Otherwise the brakes function normally.
 
The car has the original tires and I noticed that there is very little clearing between the front tires and the fender panels.
 
Might the noise becaused by the car "tipping down" enough to scrape the tires against the panels when doing a panic stop???

Sounds like the ABS activating.
 
If the tires are worn, and at 22k I would think they may be, the ABS may be activating more often.
