mrsmelly Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Have you had the balancing checked? It's usually a high speed vibration issue but because it comes in at a certain speed and ends consistently it usually means one or both wheels has lost some balance weights.

Jay762 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay762 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
