Was that bolt intended to be tightened? Did you use the proper torque? You can do more damage than good just tightening random fasteners.

Yea

There's plenty of posts elsewhere in the forum about a TSB for the new steering rack spring. Generally, the symptom is a rattle from the front driver side wheel well area (like a strut bearing or the like) while the car is cold and driven over uneven roads, like alligator cracked asphalt or chipseal. After a few minutes it seems to go away. There is a TSB regarding this that does not apply to all years in which the symptoms present. My 18 Legacy 3.6R was not included in the span of models Subura identified, but the dealer tried it anyway and it cured my issue. The car is also still under warranty.

 

 

 

If this sounds like a fit, check out the TSB and mention this to your service department. I believe its a pretty easy and not expensive fix even if your car is not covered otherwise.
