Jammy Johnny Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Hi froddy. Watch out for the rozzers :D . Have a look at the rear inner wheel arches, they can rot at those points and at the rear or the inner sills. Im quite new to subaru so maybe someone else will help with the steering squeak. But I would check the outer balljoints on the suspension arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quit Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 hello fellow wagon owner! Yeah the squuek might be from the steering rack, might need some grease on it !! is it all the time or occasionally? If its a facelift the momo wheel tends to need a little bit of grease around the slip ring OR might be worth checking the power steering fluid as mine tends to use quite a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin959 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Well, welcome first of all.. :D Second, when i bought mine Impreza 99 gt, I had something similar, so when I was steering all the way to one side there was a terrible noise... the "terrible noise" was a plastic from the front bumper that the screw was lost so it was loose this part and when I steer all the way to one side the wheel was touching it... not big deal, but check it... its worth it since its only 1 screw and bye bye horrible noise... xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
