There does not seem to be any slop in the universals and the hanger bearing is nice and stiff.I think i mentioned that this binding only occurs when the car has been driven for a half hour or so.

Sorry about the redundency,i did not realize that the 1999 had a viscous coupling.I have not checked either the center bearing or the universals,nor do i understand why either of these might be causing the symptoms i`m having, but ill check them Thanks jeff

I`m not sure,i think it started earlyier this year.I just got the car in the beginning of the month.Bought it from my x,she had taken it in a couple of times and they said nothing was wrong.I`v orderd shop manuals,but i`m wondering if there is a way to test the duty solinoid.

Hello,i just bought the car in the beginning of oct.Apparently it had started some months ago,the car belonged to my x she was orig owner.She had brought into firestone but obviously they couldn`t figure it out.Told her it was the clutch.

Hi there i`v done the circles and even put in some slip additivei got from subaru,it only does it when it is hot.i just spoke to a tech at a tranny repair shop,he said to change the oil in the transfer case,i didn1t know there is a seperate oil reservoir for the transfer case.

Hi i posted about the bearing issue,no responce,no problem bearings are set but this whole issue was a result of torque bind.I`ve changed the oils flushed out the rear put new drive shafts and seals set the bearings.I drove to work today seemed fine until i made a tight left turn and it seemed to bind slightly.what can de done about this,besides some more driving and changing tranny oil again,or major surgery?Help Jeff

Hello,It`s my first time here and i`m hoping to get some feedback.I bought a 99 forrester with 71 k from ex wife,she was only owner.She has had a problem in the front when you made a tight turn something was binding.she had brought it in for serviceing and they kept telling her nothing was wrong.I changed the oils in the rear dif and the transmission with the proper Gl 5 oil, problem solved but the cv joints in the front drive axles were a little loose as were the diff shafts.so i pulled apart the driver side first removed the diff bearing cap to replace the oil seal ,Beginning re-assemblytightening the bearing cap snuglythere is still at least .060 end play in shaft the roller bearing looks ok.I just came back from the library they heve service manuals ther was no mention of this.I tried to see if i could adjust the other side as well but it seemed tight.Would i be able to shim the bearings on each side to minimize the end play.thanks Jeff
