Hi all, new to the forum and recently purchased our first Outback. It's a 2005 2.5 petrol, manual, non turbo.
We have developed a quite severe knocking/clunking/trying to jump sideways feeling when turning at low speed, forwards or backwards, either direction. It sort of feels like you're running either on a flat tyre or running over large cats eyes!
The car also has a loud-ish whining noise that increases with speed.
I have serviced the vehicle and changed the front drive shafts as there was slight wear in the CV joints - this has made no difference. The only play I can find in the transmission is a slight movement to the inner CV joints where they enter the gearbox and rear axle.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received, scratching our heads here!!
