#39 of 40 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??? Replies to this message: paisan (Dec 21, 2008 1:12 pm)

Replying to: cvj (Dec 21, 2008 9:35 am) 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. -mike Subaru Guru and Track Instructor
