  1. Ah, I've lived here so long the name has lost all meaning to me. Thanks to everyone for the replies. It does seem like axles are the culprit. The car we were originally looking at had been sold but we’re still looking at other Outbacks. Will keep all your advice in mind as we shop.
  2. Would it be axles if we only feel the vibration when the car is stopped (not moving), and in drive? Shifting to Park makes the vibration go away. Don’t feel anything significant while the car is moving. Only stopped.
  3. My 20 year old son is looking for a new (to him) car. An Outback would fit his lifestyle well but funds are limited, so we're looking at older cars. We've found a 2002 that seems to be in good condition, and we've found ones all the way up to 2009 that are within our price range. What are common problems that we should look out for in these model years? What issues tend to crop up, especially after 100,000 miles? The 2002 drove well but had a vibration coming from underneath when the car was in "Drive", but not moving. No vibration in "Park". It felt like it was coming from the driveline but the dealer said it was probably just worn exhaust hangers causing the vibration. I'm not sure I buy that. Any insight? Thanks, Dave
