gardandre Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Hi all! Need some help with a bad noise coming from the front end of the car when going over 50-60 km/h. Have got the wheel bearings checked so thats not the problem. The sound matches the speed of the car, not rpm. Sounds like a bearing of some sort, its like a weak whining noise. Have had this sound for many months, but it has not gotten any worse over time... Any help would be much appreciated! Car: Subaru Legacy 2004 2.0L Manual.

Setnev Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Manual or Auto? On the manual, the tailshaft bearings are notorious for failure. On the auto, the center diff is usually the culprit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardandre Posted November 11, 2017 Author Share Posted November 11, 2017 Its a manual, so the tailshaft bearing is a weakness here? Car has 140000 miles on it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subaru has gone through two or three different revisions for those bearings. On my Forester, it was the bearing on the center diff that failed. That caused the circlip to pop off the diff and grind into the drive gear and chipped them. That was my source of noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
