Nighthawk CL9 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 VERY loud yesterday and today in 30 degrees...i am more and more starting to think its the left rear shock that is bad, and is making the noise we are hearing. Ex '05 Legacy GT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigkahuna808 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Dang I'm going stage 3 at the end of this month. Hopefully I don't get this problome. Is it auto or Manual specific? Or sendan or wagon specific? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.T.Subie Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Nope it is Legacy specific Denial is your best friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigT Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Nope it is Legacy specific :lol: I looks like we're going to have to wait for something to break on somebodys car, but it's been over year so far and nothing has broken on anybody. So I guess we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewScooby Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Anyone have coilovers and the growling noise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostsr20 Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Probably not. I really believe that its the struts. I doubt anyone with bilsteins is experiencing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. T Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 My passenger side rear strut was replaced at 4000 miles because it was defective. It does happen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeeeeeYa Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Anyone have coilovers and the growling noise? Ditto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewScooby Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I do. I was just getting ready to fork out the dough for a set of KW's thinking that would make all the noise go away. I may just save my money, part out the Legacy, and buy an EVO X when they get here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trabbic Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Welll, REM870 came by this evening, and we made a few discoveries. First, while the graphic a few pages back calls for 81 lbs nut and bolt going through the bushing it was not anywhere near that on the car. I'd say it was about 81 BILLION pounds. Second, the bushings in that location are NOT the same as for the rear of the diff. They actually are solid. Third, our Impreza bushings won't fit. They are close, but about 0.2" too small on the OD. So, next up is for someone to take some silicon sheet about 3/16" thick, cut some small squares out of it, and JAM it into the gaps in the bushings in the rear and see what that does to the noise. Any progress on this? My vB Garage How to Install Steering Wheel Radio Controls Cubby Gauge Mounting Solutions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleBlueGT Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 OK, we need this research done. I will do it! Somebody send me parts and I will install and try. Now that I got more torque (337wtq) I can make the noise on an 80 degree day. Full tune of 68HTA, KSTech 73 MAF, Racer X FMIC and ID1000s................by the DataLog Mafia!!!

Nighthawk CL9 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 i also noticed that i could make it on a 70ish degree day when stepping no her through a right hand corner. Ex '05 Legacy GT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRAC3 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 happens on a 90 degree day.... slightly in a left hander, much louder on the right turn.... ugh, someone fix this!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unstablementaly Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 eh, i've come to the conclusion that there is actually nothing wrong. no wear and tear. everything underneath seems fine. maybe the chassis is just "moaning" under stress. my vBGarage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSPRO Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Ok, bringing this back. My car started doing this on Friday except in the front. It is a deep groaning noise with vibration and you can feel it in the floorboard right by the firewall. The dealership spent 3 hours and couldnt not find an issue with with the CV joints or bearings and hand no clue what it was. Please read this to see if its the same thing. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1296057#post1296057 Amy 04 FXT vf39 5mt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
