It's completely gone for me by that then.[/quote'] When I first started notiing it, it did. But now after I've had the noise for a while it only gets faintly quieter but is still present. It also depends on how cold it is outside. The colder it is, the worse it is. When its 20 degrees I always have it, when its 50 degrees it goes away once warmed up. No Donuts here.

G.T.Subie Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Hans... mine goes away after about 20 miles... when everything is warmed up, it appears. Same here, I haven't heard it in a couple days . Denial is your best friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rony Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 When it was cold (10 or lower) I heard the noise all the time. Now that it's warmer, I can only reproduce it by hitting the gas on a tight turn.

jawwadh Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 my buddy cris (Nighthawk CL9) is experiencing the same thing in tight right turns and under hard acceleration.. it eminates from the rear left wheel it is a knocking that gets faster as speeds increase... we checked the swaybar, endlinks, suspension for anything hitting but to no avail. We swapped rims to see if it was the rim or rubbing.. no dice.. he has Pink springs and is TDC stage 1, cusco rear sway and endlinks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nighthawk CL9 Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 i'm stock , but yes its exactly what everyone is saying, goes away in warm weather, or under the car it gets warm, and very noticeable in right hard corners and under load.

BigT Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 So this may be crazy, but is it possible it could be the exhaust? Perhaps the warm exhaust air hitting the cold pipes or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nighthawk CL9 Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 i HIGHLY doubt its the exhaust, but anyway give me a week and i can confirm that as i have just ordered the longer exhaust hangers which lowerit about an inch, if the noise goes away or not ill report back. its embarrassing going out with friends and people asking why a $30K ca is making noises like that. and its not like you can pretend they are not there, it a loud noise.

trabbic Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Here are some transmission cross-member bushings, that might (but probably won't) help our problem. Anyone want to try them? http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=56295 There only 30 dollars, and I guess no extra NVH, I don't have time right now, otherwise I would give them a go.

CasopoliS Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Those might help, or maybe its the tranny mount. I have not had time to read through this thread, but I will glance over it and see what people are thinking. I get this noise bad in 1st and 2nd.

Vimy101 Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I wonder if the 6MT Spec.s will have this issue. It's a heavier duty drive train and might have more robust bushings (if in fact that is the cause of the noise). However, I predict that most of these noises will disappear in about a month or so.

Vimy101 Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Vimy... where do you get your info? The 6MT is supposed to be a more robust unit by all accounts. The 5MT drive train doesn't seem to have a problem handling extra Stage I/II power but something is noisily protesting during cold weather. Perhaps the 6MT might not but that is pure speculation. My next prediction is that the noises will begin to reappear in 8 or 9 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccorry Posted March 8, 2007 Author Share Posted March 8, 2007 I agree... its a different tranny... but the mounting points and type of mounting systems will be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vimy101 Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I agree... its a different tranny... but the mounting points and type of mounting systems will be the same. Do we know that for certain? The mounting system might be the same but the unit is heavier and designed for even heavier power applications so it could very well have sturdier bushings and mounting points to match.

Turninconcepts Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Ok guys - This thread was pointed out to me so I took some time to read it. I got to thinking about it a bit. My thinking is based off my wife's 01 H6. I'm hoping the LGT kept the same mounting system. On the H6 there are two mount points for the rear diff. The first is the traditional Subaru "bushings in the subframe" setup. These are the bushings directly mounted in the rear subframe with studs going through them and into the rear diff cover. The second is a forward mount saddle. It's located toward the front of the diff, and has bushings on either end. See the pics. What I need is for a couple of people - someone with an automatic and someone with a manual to take a look under the rear of their LGT and tell me if that forward saddle exists. It would be really nice if someone could even take some pics. I have a theory on this, and if that is there we can VERY easily set up an experiment. -Clint Taken from the back of the car. Find the axle and look forward. http://turninconcepts.com/forums/rear_diff/image0002.jpg http://turninconcepts.com/forums/rear_diff/image0003.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fweasel Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 TRS posted this earlier in the thread, not sure if that's the info you're looking for: http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b380/TRS60586/Misc%20Legacy/RearDiffMount-1.jpg ignore him, he'll go away.

NewScooby Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I tried to get a few pictures of the bushings before my camera died. The first pic shows the front bushings The second pic was my attempt at taking a picture of the rear bushings. you can barely see them behind the rear swaybar. The diagram in the post above is right on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
