Zombaru Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 My spec.b is making a hopping sensation when turning sharp and moving slowly in either forward or reverse. I can hear something tapping my q300 on every "hop" as well. Check all the boots. Good. No leaking liquids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSFW Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Could be due to a binding differential. Tight turns are where a diff is most needed. Can you tell whether it's coming from the front, or rear, or both ends? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombaru Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 Seems to be the front. The tapping noise is more of a knock. I took it to a shop and they tried the transmission mount and now there's a rubbing noise on deceleration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombaru Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 The car has 60,000miles. I have new tires but this problem started to surface before. They were stock sized eagle GT's Could changing the fluids front to rear help? its at 60,000 so its time anyways... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Every 30,000 miles the fluids should be replaced with Extra-S. What fluid is in there now ? These things are picky about you put in them. Sound like you have a issue with the front diff. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

Zombaru Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 Not entirely sure whats in there. But i'm beginning to bet its factory... I think all fluids are going to be inspected and changed... I bought the car at 45,000 miles from Subaru Calgary. Had her shipped to me in Winnipeg. Guy had the average mileage at 20l/100km or 11mpg or so. That was over an 8,000Km distance. So seems like she had a hard life before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Not all dealers know to put Extra-S in the tranny's... Is there a local forum, you can ask the guy's who's good with trannys there ? 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).
