[Growling rear end, 01 Forrester]

Well, I'm gonna change the wheel bearings on my mother's Forester and see if the noise goes away. I'll update is at becomes relevant.

[Growling rear end, 01 Forrester]

My mother drives a '99 Forester and it is doing the exact same thing: very loud growling/rumbling noise from the rear end which increases with speed. It is so loud it is difficut to hear the radio. I got under the car a month back and didn't find any fluid leaks or anything else that seemed out of the ordinary at a glance.

 

This Forester has had nothing but problems since it broke 100k miles. I'd like to fix this rear end problem so I can sell it!
