Frank Fessenden Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 I have a 2003 Outback w/ 75K, automatic transmission. I bought it used- have had it for 5 months. When I accelerate from a stop, there is a groaning noise coming from the rear (axle- tires) area. It's a low noise- not high pitched whining. It last a second or two as I accelerate then goes away, and the the car runs fine otherwise. It happens when the wheel is straight or turned. And it happens when I am forward gear or reverse. If I haven't driven the car for a day or two, then the noise is less apparent. But then if I am starting and stopping a lot, it seems to get louder as the day goes on. Any idea what this might be?

nipper Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 AFter youy stop the car, bounce on the back of it. It may be a suspension noise. Is the noise a groan or a sqeek? nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friendly_jacek Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Did you say there was a clunk? There is a TSB decribing clunk while AWD cluch engages as normal. Not sure about groaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
