January 10, 200620 yr Any clue? I have a 03 outback llbean. It has a vibration under load, and at highway speeds. The tires were borderline, so I replaced all 4 assuming it would help. No such luck. Anybody?

Anybody? Vibration during acceleration which goes away instantly when you let off on the throttle can be traced to a bad DOJ on one axle. Check the inner boots on both axles; if one is torn, that's the bad one.
January 10, 200620 yr Author Vibration during acceleration which goes away instantly when you let off on the throttle can be traced to a bad DOJ on one axle. Check the inner boots on both axles; if one is torn, that's the bad one. No ripped boots, and no clicking noise on tight turns (parking lot manuevers). I held the wheels 1 at a time on the lift to try to isolate the problem. But, nothing made a difference. Thanks for the response. jv
January 10, 200620 yr Clicking joints are the CVJs. But it was a thought. No ripped boots, and no clicking noise on tight turns (parking lot manuevers).I held the wheels 1 at a time on the lift to try to isolate the problem. But, nothing made a difference. Thanks for the response. jv
January 10, 200620 yr is it possible the engine has a miss? +1 My old lumina got a "hitchup in it's getalong" in a similar way. When cruising along with low throttle and a steady speed it would hitch and buck a bit. It got worse and worse till I finally pulled the plugs (several hours work on that POS 3.4) and noticed that one of the tips of the plugs had burned off like a bastard. Replaced the plug and BAM! no problem!
January 10, 200620 yr an 03, is it still under warranty? axle (what he said earlier) or ujoints in the rear driveshaft are my guess.
