1 Lucky Texan

cycle the fob a coupla times, maybe it thinks it's stolen or the battery was stolen?

I broke down and yesterday let Mr. Perez - gulp - work on my car. He even swapped the cabin air filter for me (had one on the shelf). less than an hour.

not sure about the overflowing.... I have used ice cubes , shaken vigorously, to clean the radiator overflow.

paging @GeneralDisorder

Dex II/III/VI ATF should be used. Valvoline MaxLife is what I used.

air in the PS fluid quite likely. had to replace o-rings on suction hose adapters on both my soobs.

any chance you could use a mechanic's stethoscope or even a dowel rod or long screwdriver to the ear to pin-down the location better? my first gut-feelings were serpentine belt idler/tensioner bearings, or possibly cracked flexplate.

^^^good post, second the oil minor point but, easy for folks to overlook the cabin air filter.

if it's like a squeal, could be the backing plate has trapped some debris against the rotor, or is dragging?

welcome back Dusty, there are folks here with ej22 swap experience. Someone will reply I'm sure - the recent virus issue may have some folks a bit distracted. try a search to read about swaps.

4 cyl or 6?

WANT!!!

some older filters had bad crimps and would leak sometimes......r

looks like hubs were done

could an observer in another car 'pacing' you perhaps see something? video the front corners, etc.

is it less noticeable on wet roads by any chance? or on gravel?

I edited my last post, el freddo is talking about center drive shaft I think?

EDITED; have half-shaft/CV axle nuts been torqued with wheels on the ground? FSM says not to do that - no weight on the wheels.

as a triple check, find the tooth count for your engine.

check hub/rotor/caliper temps with an infrared thermometer after a highway run. is the wobble in sync with tire roation - or, 'about' 4 times faster? if you lightly touch the brakes while wobbling, can you feel pulses in the brake pedal or, does it change the symptom? did this begine gradually or after some work on the car?

Pretty sure my 06 WRX wagon got a faster ratio vs 05. Maybe the 05 Saabaru was ahead of the curve?????

ah, I guess that's right. I thought it was only VDC.

does it idle rough? if so, try a stream of propane from a handheld torch or some ether-start into the intake. If idle smooths-out, that may point to a fueling issue. check all grounds.

one thing for certain, you must use the FWD fuse in the block under the hood if you mix tire sizes. Even very slight differences are very stressful on the drive train and it's usually the trans that suffers. so, use of the donut requires use of the FWD fuse. seriously. tires need to be the same size/brand/model and near each other in wear. that trans also needs OEM or compatible fluid. of course, check fluid level when idling.

is there oil on the plugs or their boots?
