mkimister2 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I just got some springs and struts off a 97 outback and installed them on to my legacy. I got about 2" all around and didnt think my cv joints would suffer. That night I heard a clunk, but only going 40+mph and only making a slight left (not hard left). I decided that it was my passengerside axle and ran up to autozone after school and got a remanufactured axle. Put it in and on the way to school this mourning it happened again. I have no idea what is happening? What could it be, wheel bearing, cv again, tranny? I have no clue as to what it can be. I put my outback wheels and tires on and plan to get an alignment this weekend. Coould an alignment be all I need? I need to find out asap since I dont have another dd anymore. Thanks, Andrew P.S. I will get some pics up by sunday of the car since i have yet to post on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyB0y Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Wheel bearings are the first thing I would suspect ... is there any wobble or slop in the wheel when you have it off the ground? Next I would check the ball-joints and steering knuckle ... does this happen just on one side and when turning one particular direction? Hope this helps ... if you can't find anything wrong I would take it to a good alignment guy ... gl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayn3ver Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 sounds like the spring and or mount isn't installed/seated correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a97obw Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I just got some springs and struts off a 97 outback and installed them....... 'nuff said. I bet you got a strut with a dead spot in it. My 97 Outback rode like a log wagon with all the front end clunking noise. Installed new OEM struts and it's almost like a Lincoln Town Car now. Well, ok, a Grand Marquiseter.
