Any word on the result, garbo? I may be running into a transmission repair/replace decision as well on my 05 Baja. I have the same whine under load above 3500rpm that goes away when the gas is let off.

My girlfriend told me my St. Patrick's Day shirt was blue, so maybe I am :/ Lol. Black cans, not green. Looks like those will get changed with the rotors & brakes. Thank you for the guidance.

No noise when turning sharp left or right. I've done slow circles to check for that CV clicking and I hear none. However, starting from a hill this morning I heard faint clicking from the passenger side while accelerating so I'm assuming it's on it's way out now. My next question is if the car has been in this condition for this long (as stated by the previous owner) should I expect any damage to other parts?

Thanks for helping out this newb! I'll get under it tonight and start poking/prodding. I'll do a better job of searching next time. It's incredible to me that two mechanics that test drove and inspected it, one being a Subaru specialist, never mentioned this could be the issue.

I'll check for green cups when I get back tonight. To my surprise, the previous owner said the car has ALWAYS done that. Since he bought it with around 70k miles on it. I can't imagine the guy just dealt with it all this time for 130k+ miles. He said a mechanic insisted it was an exhaust shield and that it never got worse since he had it. Should I reconsider inspecting the shields again?

Thanks for the reply. I'm asking the previous owner about when it started. I bought it three weeks ago and have put maybe 400 miles on it since. I paid to have a mechanic inspect it before I purchased it but he seemed to have misdiagnosed everything he told me. It has 210,000 miles on it and all the service records I have from 73,000 on the odometer show no axle repair.

My Subaru has a vibration feeling up front while stopped in drive. It occurs whether if it's warmed up or cold and as soon as I creep forward it stops vibration. The car seems to idle nice and steady, I don't think it's an engine issue. I had one mechanic tell me it was an exhaust shield and another say it was the power steering pump. I trust the pump diagnosis but was wondering if anyone has experienced this or can speak to the validity of that diagnosis. And if it is the pump, should I rebuild or replace? This Baja is getting expensive ... D:
