Dergara Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I have a 2005 OBXT 5eat. A few weeks ago a roaring noise started coming from the rear of the car on acceleration and when slowing down. At least that's when I hear it. It is noticeable enough for my wife to hear it. She says it is coming from the drivers side and I think it is coming from the passenger side. Obviously it is coming from the rear somewhere. I tried different air pressure in the tires but it did not make a difference. Any ideas? P.S. We have driven the car 300 plus miles since this has started including a trip out of town and nothing has failed. “Abandon hope, all ye who enter here” -Dante Alighieri http://youtu.be/lLFunBPgPOo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesuby Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 My guess is wheel bearings. Is the extended warranty (100,000 miles) good for the Outback as it is for the Legacy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 One of you sit in the back seat and have the other one drive the car and listen for which side the noise is from. Left, right or center. Lets hope it's not the center. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

Dergara Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 bluesuby: Extended warranty is good especially if you buy the car new, but if you buy it used the warranty only last from the date of manufacture to five years out or 100,000 miles which ever comes first. (Usually five years) I will have to check the wheel bearing and hope it's not the center.

Dergara Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 Has anyone ever bought wheel bearings on EBAY? “Abandon hope, all ye who enter here” -Dante Alighieri http://youtu.be/lLFunBPgPOo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
