DougKelly20 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 No tearing or cracking of anything. I'll get it up on the quikjack this weekend and take a closer look at the center strut bolt (unlikely the issue) and the springs (may need adjustment or lube).

MoleMan Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 No tearing or cracking of anything. I'll get it up on the quikjack this weekend and take a closer look at the center strut bolt (unlikely the issue) and the springs (may need adjustment or lube). I think this could be the EPS tension spring issue that has been popping up. TSB 04-17-17R. It has been updated to include up to 2019 model years. Part #34130AL010 If it’s the same clunking I hear at low speeds only this is probably the issue. I just have no desire to fix it as it’s not a huge bother to me. And according to Subaru nothing is wrong with the operation at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painless Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Thanks MoleMan! This issue has been bugging me for months on my '19! Appreciate the upload as well. This is one of the reasons why a forum like this is so amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of the reasons why a forum like this is so amazing! Very welcome. If you are still under the powertrain warranty Subaru should fix it for free. I would show the Service advisor the TSB. I would agree with you it is a bit annoying at low speeds. To me the car is so quiet you pick up on stupid little noises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougKelly20 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 No, I had this done already, completely different sound. I'm get a loud single pop...not a consistent rattle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then back to the original assumption it’s a LCA bushing that’s gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougKelly20 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Tightened up the ring collars on the coilovers this weekend....no new popping sound since! If that changes I'll let everyone know. I'm Really hoping it remains this very simple fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
