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.
