[2006 Turbo OBW vibrates upon acceleration]

axles will sometimes cause vibration.

 

you could post a new thread asking for a good soob-experienced mechanic near your city. Have a different opinion after a test drive of the car. What is an soob-experienced mechanic?

 

it is imperative the tires all be the same size/brand/model and near each other in wear. any change in the tires before this began? No

 

any jerking/bucking when driving tight circles on dry pavement? maneuvering in parking lots? No

How many miles are on the car?  It has 96,500

 

Is it a fast vibration, or slower, shaking feeling? Slower shaking feeling, sort of like front end is out of alignment

 

Does the vibration become more prominent with higher speed? No

Does it only happen at certain speeds, or do you notice it more at certain speeds? No. But it does happen any time I speed up. Then at a level speed it stops and seems fine. If I want to pass another car and accelerate it vibrates then stops at level speed again.

I purchased my 2006 Outback Wagon Turbo one year ago. I've never owned a turbo before.Upon any acceleration there is a vibration that I thought was the Turbo engine, but my daughter and son in law said the tires were out of balance.

 

I had the tires balanced and the vibration still happens. The mechanic suggested it was the carrier bearing. He said it is not a serious mechanical issues, just mostly annoying.

 

Does anyone know what may cause this, as I have researched the carrier bearing issue and I am not convinced. If it is something that needs attention, I want to repair it. I love my car and want to keep it a long time.
