I wanted that answer for my current thread, glad it was on here.

Noise is still there with the fuse in... Not sure if it's better, but still there, only had a short trip on my lunch

Thanks Texan, how do i do mentions on here?

Which amperage fuse?

Yep, big old rusted trailer hitch, but the ball in the trunk looks like it was never touched. The car shows signs of sitting under s tree for some time for sure.. I'm going to try cnydave's idea of putting in the fwd fuse.. Which amperage do I use?

Will give it a whirl...Saturday, I'll be straightening out cars all day !

Might have been submerged, rear diff body very rust caked, whole top layer of metal rusted thick. I was chipping it off with a chisel. Maybe even just a rear axel is bad... I'm going to get some cheaper wired chassis ears and do a video, keep me posted..

Myself and a coworker did just that last night. He said he thinks it's louder and it's coming from the back later after I dropped him off I reclined my seat all the way back and drove through the parking lot and I could definitely say the sound originates from the rear , SOB. When I changed the differential fluids, I noticed the rear was new differential fluid and the front looked like it had been neglected, which tells me somebody was trying to quiet something down in the rear. As for the front, well I might've just saved it in time. Give me an hour or two I can change out a rear differential no problem.

I strongly believe I'm going to need to put a new rear differential in my 03 Subaru outback L.L. Bean and was wondering what years and models of types of differentials will be interchangeable?

Wait a minute, am I hearing, I might be hearing something louder in the back that sounds like it's in the font? Let me get back to you...

I wish, that's an easier fix.

Sounds like a reasonable confirmation Grossgary, not like the old days where I begged to differ about a head gasket. I was peterpan; just believe real strong and it won't be the head gasket, and then go for a good fly around Baltimore.

I changed the front differential two times. The front diff had sludge on the plug, but nothing more. If you re-watch the video, the portion where I pan the camera down toward the radio, you hear me say when I let off the gas, at which time the noise just stops. My co-worker says the noise is coming from up front, but he only sat in the passenger seat, and I've cocked my head back to listen to the back, and I myself am convinced its from the front. I wish it was rear noise. I am seeing what I can sell so I can buy a handy dandy steelman car noise detector kit. If I'm going really slow and let off the gas, I can just barely hear a little of the same noise while coasting, but barely, and only for a second or two, not very pronounced. So here are the facts: Noise dominates solely on acceleration There is a newer complete drive shaft Car has 180k Diff to transmission has small drip, so oil may have been run dry at one point by previous owner, big unknown rear diff had fresh oil in it on purchase, but the front was low and burnt transmission fluid is new, but brown when I got it Sludge on diff plug upon first drain and fill noise vibrates automatic shifter very slightly recently installed new front axel no play in front diff where axels plug in noise diminishes at very high speeds noise is constant after 25mph noise is worst between 30 and 50 mph Worst case scenario, how long might i get away driving it like this?

Hi, I'm new to this particular forum. I've recently replaced my transmission fluid and differential fluid, as well as put on a newer complete drive shaft on my 03 LL Bean Outback, but I can't seem to shake this noise. I'll leave a YouTube link at the bottom for anyone who's got a few to take a listen, sorry for all of my talking in advance. I tend to strictly only hear the noise on acceleration after I reach about 25mph in several gears and speeds, and the transmission shifts very good. I've tried a heavier synthetic Luca oil in the front diff, but no change. There is no play in the axels where they connect to the diff. I get a little vibration, and I mean only a little, on the automatic shifter. It seems like the noise comes from the tail section of the transmission, but with the diff and trans being so close together I can't be sure what causes the noise. So if there is a Subaru doc out there, tell me please, how long does she have? I always appreciate help, but if you want to reply to this, please read it all before you take a stab at it. Thanks. https://youtu.be/9-GWX19X9_E
