boylo Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Hi all a new member and a first time owner of a 2000 turbo wagon which im pleased with. But i have problem with a strange noise comming from the from passenger wheel area. A clicking noise while driving. Its intermitent so it comes and goes. But when i apply the brake it goes. Plus a knocking noise from same area again intermitent. Very strange. Im pritty clued up on cars had various turbos in my time but a subaru is a diffrent ball game. Hope some one can give me pointers would be awsome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tlag Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 It sounds possibly like the driveshaft. If the gaiter has split and the joint dried up, it would do as you describe. Even of the gaiter is in good condition, it's worth investigating. If it does it when turning but not so much in a straight line, im fairly certain it's the driveshaft. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tlag Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I use the dark grey stuff. I think it's called graphite grease. If that makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
