DocT Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Hi I have a '93 Subaru Legacy AWD. It just started having a loud knocking/clanking sound when the vehicle is moving and not accelerating. It does this in any gear or neutral as long as the vehicle is moving and there isn't a load on the transmission. When you accelerate the sound goes away until you get off the gas. Car has 170k, but I have had it for about 1k. My son drives it so I don't know if this came on suddenly or worked its way up. The sound goes faster if you are going faster and slower if you are going slower. Where should I be looking? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Welcome to the USMB. Can you describe the sound any more? Is it a clanking, high pitch, low pitch, etc. I would probably suggest looking at the axles or driveline and see you notice anything. It sounds like something is loose and as a result is causing something that is rotating to hit something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
