benstarr1212 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 2000 Subaru outback started making strange "stretching" noise (hear it under the front floor) when making sharp left turns. I just had my timing belt replaced, and the mech. said he would check the other belts as well. Is this related, or is it something else? Also had the rack replaced a few years ago. Thanks for any input. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdventureSubaru Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Can you get a video or sound clip? Is it louder on tighter turns? Check power steering fluid levels? Likely unrelated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benstarr1212 Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 I tried getting a video but it didn't do it that last time. Today it did. I'll check the fluid level. It's like a high-pitched growl, like a stretching sound. Hard to describe. One other post had a similar sound and it ended up being a broken muffler mount near the cat converter. I had that (both front and rear) replaced about 3 years ago. Thanks for your interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Possibly the brake pad squealer touching the rotor. How old are the brakes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benstarr1212 Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 Front brakes replaced about 6-7 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Time for new brakes I would say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benstarr1212 Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 Turns out the mech. who put in the new timing belt kit forgot 2 bolts on one of the plates, which was rubbing on the tire when turning. Coat me $10.60 to fix! Whew! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
