Vibration


Recommended Posts

Hi Peeps

I have owned just about every car marque known to man and have recently fancied an Outback as my mobility is slightly impaired as in getting out of cars and I need dog space. Anyway I have just bought an Outback which I like and the build quality seems good, Anyway it drives well and had it checked at my friends garage ( ex Subaru mechanic ) and its all good just a couple of normal wear items including drop link ends to replace. I have noticed that it sets off silky smooth but has a slight vibration between 15 and 23 miles per hour which then disapears at all other speeds? its a weird one for me as I would normaly suspect tyres but at those speeds?? What does the panel think? I have a lot of car experience but non of it Subaru so is it a normal Subaru trait? Editing to add its a 2006 H6 with 113 thousand in a well looked after state.

Thanks all

yup as above check the wheel balance first - is it an auto box or manual? Is the vibration felt just through steering wheel or whole car / drivers seat?

Hi

Thanks so far peeps I think it may be a tyre/tyres so will check. This model is only done in auto.

 

Cheers

ahh my ignorance - if it is significant ie whole car judders, not just through steering wheel it may be the transmission - might need a fluid change, do you know if it has been done - imprezas are recommended to be done every 50.000, more if towing
