Fixed ! Well at liest that issue. Lol It ended up being the carrier bearing mounting bushings. Do those that dont know, the carrier is held in with 2 bolts. Those two have rubber/steel bushings to keep vibrations from entering the cab. I ended up having 1/2 of those 2 piece bushings backwards on each bolt. There for when the bolt was tightened down. The carrier assembly was still able to move up and down a good 1/4". After up and down with the bolts a good 5-10 times I finally noticed it was the bushings. Put back correctly and bam, no noise.

its been a good 3-4 months.. between driveshaft failure and banging noise. the transmission mount is a good possibility (i never checked it) tomorrow is sunday so i can actually work on it.

I like your thinking. I always trust my gut first & no only while driving thanks justin. I dont know if the axles were stock or aftermarket... i did how ever just installed a aftermarket one, but havent driven it enough yet to say if it helped or not... ( i did a circle in the subdivision and parked it for 3 days now) it was still making the noise but not as bad I replaced the drive shaft because the front joint exploded, which caused damage to the shift linkage. which i temporally fixed. and it just came loose again (4 months later) which is why i havent driven it the last 3 days.

The drive shaft is brand spanking new, even had it removed and rechecked after the noise started. Conformation was the shaft is good. Carrier is a little week but ok. I'm confused, (I'm a truck guy) Is the FWD fuse - 4 wheel drive or front wheel drive ? I assume that it meens, front wheel drive only when the fuse is in place ?!? And I did just replace the Pashenger cv axle (aftermarket) but only now like 2 miles on it. I've been driving the truck these last few days. I have not even tried the fuse yet. Where is it located ? Under hood or interior panel

I did not know that there was a fwd fuse. That's good info. I'll try that out Thank you.

Hi all, im new to this forum, and fairly new to AWD car's. im about at my witts end. i have a 99 subaru legasy L "30th aniversery" 2.2L auto tranny. the car is making a very loud and noticable banging noise/vibration comming from the tranny tunnle area (felt the strongest) but the noise sounds like its comming from the pashenger inner cv axle joint. it dose it 100% of the time at slower speeds 0-35 mph and the most prominent when Decelerating to a stop (15 - 5 mph) it makes the nose during acceleration, turning, stright, and decelerating. it dose not make the nose at higher speeds but will make the nose/vibration (softer) when turning at faster speeds like a highway clover (40 mph 'ish) the noise basically behaves like a bad CV axle, but is making the noise and vibration of a bad U-joint.. thats why im stumped.. THE DRIVE SHAFT IS BRAND NEW, i even removed it once the noise/vibration started and had it checked by the manufracture (because it sounds like a drive shaft) the only thing i can conclude is that its the front diff. BUT I HAVE NO IDEA (im new to AWD)
