kd5zmg Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Hey all, I hope someone can help with this. But my driver side mirror shakes when the car gets up to like 45 + mph. Does someone know what that is and how to fix it? thanks, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brady Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 While not common, I've had the same problem on my '05 Legacy and my '02 Impreza. The mirror is probably losing whatever keeps it in place. Is it easier to fold that mirror than the passenger side? Anyway, the solution was to replace the mirror assembly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kd5zmg Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 DANG!!! I suppose there is nothing in there that can be replaced? Side view mirrors are $150 some odd... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brady Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I was fortunate in both cases that it happened early enough to be covered under warranty. When it happened on my Legacy as well, I thought it was a common problem to Subarus, but it seems it was more just an anomaly that I had two cars it happened to. I had only seen one other Suby when I worked at a dealer with the same problem. Strangely, that one came straight off the truck with a floppy mirror. But to be clear, it's the whole folding mirror assembly that is loose, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kd5zmg Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 The mirror assembly is tight and on this model it does not fold back. I would like a folding mirror, but not sure if I can replace it with one. So it is just the mirror that wobbles back and forth and it seems to be only at a high rate of speed, like over 65ish from what I can tell.

Brady Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Different issue then. Do you have a 2010? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kd5zmg Posted December 5, 2009 Author Share Posted December 5, 2009 it's a '98 LGT. I am going to pull it off to see if I can fix it. Like I said it only moves at a freeway speeds like at 55mph on up. It moves like a strobe type movement. I hope that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
