Adam, Thanks for replying, Knuckle and bearing were new oe parts, check tsbs in alldata, nothing about stabalizer, axle was replaced out of desperation. I could actually feel the clicking through the left strut while driving. A couple of questions for my knowledge? WIll the torque binding occur on only a right hand turn? What type of noise or feel should expect if there is a torque bind? Do these cars have issues with the front differential spider or side gears and bearings? Can the front diffrential be repaired without getting in to tearing down the trans? Again thanks for responding.

Hi everyone, I am a tech and found out about this forum from iatn of which I am a member. They have led me to his site. Stating how great this group is. I am having aproblem with a 98 outback awd automatic trans with 107000 miles. Hoping someone can lead me in the right direction. I have been browsing through the posts and have seen a lotof posts about torque bind. I think I may have a car with this problem not sure though. The car came in for for new struts. we replaced the struts, spring mounts, left steering knuckle and new ball joints. We also did a wheel alignment, change the rear differential fluid. Customer brought the car back two weeks later. Her complaint is that on a hard right turn only has a noise that sounds like a bad left outer cv joint. I went over my work did not see anything obvious and it will not make the noise while on the lift. I installed a rebuilt axle but it did not correct the noise. Could this be a torque bind issue? Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
