My guess is probably a tire issue before I replaced tires I was showing signs of uneven wear. And after looking up viscous coupling it sounds exactly like what's going on.

thay does not sound cheap.

to answer some of the other questions as well No wrecks, no transmission differential or suspension work done since we have owned the car we got it with 54,000 miles on the odometer AS to left, right or center I have not been able pin point it myself. It does it at full lock on the steering wheel, and like I said in the post above it does buck/jerk when it is making the noise and you can very noticeably feel it in the steering wheel. Thanks

Ok a few more details in responses given. It is a 6 speed Manual. The popping occurs in very tight turn such as when pulling into parks. It's a very tight turn. Does not really exhibit the popping at driving speeds or when making most turns when driving. It has to be extremely tight turns. You also very much can feel the car jerking/ jumping when it's popping.

New tires replaced within 200 miles before CV axles. The popping only occurs after about 15 minutes or more from cold (8hrs or more off. Don't know the cut off I just knows this is enough to be "cold") It can and does happen on wet, dry paved or gravel. The shop that replaced the CV axles said before replacing that engine mounts could cause the CV's to fail. But they also don't want to replace random stuff guessing. The outback in question has just over 100k. I'm willling to spend some on updates that could be considered PM but also need to be reasonable and fixing the problem is paramount. If engine mounts are a highly likely candidate and can be done fore a reasonable amour and are likely to go bad with in a reasonably close time frame lest do it now. But I'm also a tight wad and other stuff sucks my funds.

The wife and I both Drive Subaru Outbacks a 2010 and a 2012 and both with Manual Transmissions. The 2010 started making a poppins sound when making slow sharp turns. The nearest Subaru Dealer is an hour away, so I took it to a local guy and ask him to check the CV axels. The could not find anything wrong. Foward a couple months and the popping got worse, took it to another local place and the said yes the CV axels needed replacing. They replaced them and when I picked up the car the popping was gone, when I got back home about a 30 minute drive I heard the pop again when making a sharp turn in the drive way. We live on gravel drive so I was not positive if I was hearing something or not. After getting to work the next day I could definitely say it was popping. Took it back to place that made the repair and they could not get it to pop. I went back to try and show them and could not get it to do it. I have since noticed that it will not pop when "cold" but after about 20-30 minute drive it pops loud and as much as before the CV's were changed. Any Ideas as to what could be causing this. Thanks
