Ok....I am pretty bad when it comes to cars. I'm guessing that by the sound of this, this is a very bad thing. What am I looking at to fix this? All the help I can get is appreciated. Oh yeah, this is a Green 95 Subaru Legacy with around 190,000 miles on it.

Hey guys....Happy New Years first. Ok its been a while since I have been here but I got a new problem I would like you guys to help me diagnose with the issue. Now this only happens some of the time. It didn't happen on my way in this morning but it happened to me on the way home today. When turning the wheel to the right there are slight jerking motions in the wheel to the right. sometimes it happens once and sometimes it happens a few times. When driving straight or turning left there is no jerking. I have been told this could be the power steering pump going....is this the case? Thanks in advance for the help.

I dont wanna take advantage, but it would help me out a lot. 1G2NW55DXSC811999 and JT2AW15C7K0147620 Thanks a WHOLE LOT!!! hilliakr@optonline.net

Once again.....nevermind. I figured it out. I love this site already. Thanks for the help!!!!

I looked on the passenger side under the hood. I found a Black connection/connector that was labled FWD. There wasnt a fuse but i was able to disconnect this connector. Is that what I need to do? I wanna find out if this is the problem or not. Thanks.

Sorry I am new. Searh this site? or search the internet? What is torque bind? Nevermind http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=48978&highlight=torque+bind This thread is what my problem is. Thanks for the term to look up!

It is an automatic transmission. Sorry bout the comment, but it is old. Got the senior citizen discount at the car wash.....hehe:headbang:

Yeah, I figured a noise question would be hard. Hoping that maybe someone had the same experiance. You can feel the thumping in the back seats when making a turn. Almost as if something was spinning slower and making a bumping noise? I dunno.

Thanks for the info. I will check them out. What about that noise? Any ideas from anyone? Got any ?'s just ask and I will answer how I can.

Hey guys. I am brand new here. I am here because I would like to start learning what I can about my old Subaru. This past weekend, before that damn snow storm, I replaced my alternator. It was a fairly easy job and I felt better about my car after I did this. I plan on doing a few more things in the future with this concerning overall care. I have a 95 Legacy L with over 150K miles. It is starting to get old and things are needing to be replaced. So a first question I wanna ask is.. Are/Is there a manual(s) (ie Chiltons, Haynes) that you would recomend to use as a referance? Is there anything you guys would suggest that I check out for the easier side of maintenence? I am not really afraid of messign around with too much, I am just not a real car guy so to speak. I fix computers..... Now. There is another problem that I have been having with my ride. There is an abnormal thumping noise, that comes with a bumping feeling inthe back seat, that is coming from the rear of my car. It only happens when I am making a sharper turn. The car is AWD. I am suspecting that this has something to do with this. Any takers?
