nipper Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Well it sounds more like torque bind then a power steering issue. Subaru PS is trouble free. And jerking as you describe is where TB will show up. Will the car ilde smoothly through tight turns? Which tranny do you have. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nipper Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Thats what i thought. First make sure all your tires are equally inflated. If you have one thats low, or a tire that doesnt match the others you will get TB. Next put the fuse in the FWD holder under the hood and see if it goes away. If it does we have fighting chance to solve this without big bucks. If it goes away, leave it in untill you can get the tranny fluid flushed/chainged. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nipper Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 We need to get a pic of this and make it a sticky. This is something all subaru owners with automatics need to know what it is, and when to use it. You need to know it for when you put the spare on the car. It disables thw AWD. I am going to assume you dont have an owners manual. Near the wiper motor under the hood is a fuse holder. It should be empty. You put a fuse in it when you put on the spare or have diagnose something like this. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86BRATMAN Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 The owners manual calls for a 20 amp fuse, I'm not sure how much it really matters though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nipper Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 The owners manual calls for a 20 amp fuse, I'm not sure how much it really matters though ive put in a 5 amp. All that circuit does is send a signal to the TCU to open the Duty C Solenoid and trip the FWD light. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 How's about the front strut mounts? Were the bearings in good condition? edit: also were the spacers in good condition and were they reinstalled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
