Dan Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 I haven't been on here in a long time So not sure whether i mentioned it on here but i was involved in a bad crash in my Altezza and that is no more and the new car: Anyway didn't cry over that too long. Moved on to a 2003 Subaru Legacy 2.0 GT. Few little small issues when i got it. since i have got the car i have gotten the following done to the car which maybe be the reason for my current problem: 1. Front pads replaced - couldn't fit both shims on the back of the pads so left one off on each side 2. Front lower control arm bushings replaced. to get rid of bad vibration feed back through the steering and break peadl under breaking. Known weak point on these 3. Tein S Tech lowering springs all round, on JDM Bilstein struts. The problem i have no is when turning at low speeds there is a knocking/clunk coming from something. also happens if i turn the car when stationery too. Could this be related to any of the above things that have been changed since i got the car? others have suggested: cv joint wheel bearing Centre diff failing My mechanic cant have a look at the car until Saturday, but want to try and find the problem before then incase i need to order an parts.

dazz33 Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Hi Dan nice looking motor....if it happens when you turn ( full lock ) it could be ball joints ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 i would guess a cv joint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammy Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Maybe cv but thay dont genrally clunk/click when stationary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted October 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 i would guess a cv joint problem has seemed to have disappeared on its own! probably just the springs settling in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammy Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Didnt see the pics of the alttezz last time i see this thread those fences tend to make a bad job at modifying the exterior of cars......hope knowone was hurt in that......looks quite bad lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIH Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 i would guess a cv joint problem has seemed to have disappeared on its own! probably just the springs settling in. A knocking noise can signify something serious. I'd still get it chcked out, just to be on the safe side. I really like these later shape Legacys. Looks great.

Looks great. seems like top mount on one of the struts slipped down a bit because it wasnt seated properly, all is good now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anees Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Can you just check that all four tyres are the same size? A few people with 4 wheel drive cars have issues when fitting larger tyres on the rear without matching then up to the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
