Johnboy Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Subaru legacy estate 2003/4 MT 5speed, When turning right or left into parking space when car is fully up to temp , knocking sound as wheels go round smooth then knock about 3 times per wheel revolution, Forward and backward, question could this be CV joints or Viscious Coupling , she has covered 119K and not ben driven by a boy racer. sound is coming from front as you can feel it in the steering wheel and from wheel side if you place hand on side wall. Question, could both CVs tend to fail together, Gearbox oil is clear when on stick, drained fully, murky in apearence and very dark, will change this today ? Any thoughts ?

Linx Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Almost certainly CV joints. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linx Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Hi John. What you describe is typical of worn CV joints. I'm not sure if you should be able to feel any free play when they start to knock.
