rjh78 Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 I have had my 05 subaru Legacy GT for about a month now. When I first took it off the lot it was great. But now I am hearing a noise from the rear deck area when going over some bumps, turning corners, and taking off fast. I had the dealership take a look at it and they said that it was the torsion bars for the trunk lid. They said they took them out and put them back in. While doing so they put a peice of rubber round one of the torsion bars. Well, I don't think they are put into the car correctly. Is there anyone out there that could take a picture of the torsion bars so that I can take a look at what they are suppose to look like and how they are suppose to be routed. Hopefully someone could help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmm def Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Have someone sit in the back seat and apply a little pressure on the C-pillars why you drive. Mine rattles where the Pillar meets the deck, very annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjh78 Posted November 18, 2004 Author Share Posted November 18, 2004 Excellent suggestion. Thank you. I will give that a try. I know it is driving me crazy. Most of the time I have the radio on but when I am on my cell phone it drives me nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbi012 Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 ok I've been hearing a simular noise and I think the problem is from the tray over the spare tire, make sure the tray in the trunk is closer to the outsite of the car rather than the inside, you wont have the problem anymore. let us know.

-HEF- Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 i have the same thing. although i have not experimented yet, i thought it was coming from the rear deck break light cover. i had to install some weather stripping on my last car, and i'll have to do it with this one too.

rjh78 Posted November 25, 2004 Author Share Posted November 25, 2004 I have had my car for about 2k miles. I purchased it from the dealer with 3300 miles on it. It now has about 5300 miles on it. I have since taken everything out of the car and drove it. STILL HEAR THE NOISE. It is driving me crazy. I started by taking the rear seats out when I was done I had the rear deck out, all the trunk linings, the spare tire. It was cleaned out. I took it for another ride, and the noise was STILL there. I am just running out of ideas. I was thinking of taking the trunk torsion bars out and taking it for a ride, but I just don't know how to get them out of there.

mmm def Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Did you try having someone sit in the rear seat and hold the plastic C-pillar piece while you drive? Worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjh78 Posted January 19, 2005 Author Share Posted January 19, 2005 I finally got someone else to drive my car while I sat in the back to check for rattles. I eliminated almost everything but the actual rear window a few weeks before, when I removed all the back interior and it still rattled. I concluded it must be the rear window itself. I told the dealership this and they had a tech go on a road test with me. He thought I was correct, because when it was making the noise he pushed up on the window and the noise stopped. I had the rear window removed and re-installed, now NO NOISE!!!! Thank god! It was totally driving me nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis008 Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Please don't forget to specify whether you have a sedan or wagon. Seems like some of you are confused. :lol: -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
