Collins Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Well thanks to all the help from you guys I finally put a good axle in my 97 outback. After job was completed ,I pulled car outside and turning the wheel from one end of travel to the other(while stopped),I got a lot of noise from the front end. I had my wife turn the wheel while I looked and found the spring in the strut sticking on the top of the strut housing. I sprayed some lub.on top of spring and it seemd to quiet the noise. Does this mean the strut needs replaced or just a matter of a winter of road crap? Thanks again for the help. Collins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reveeen Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I had my wife turn the wheel while I looked and found the spring in the strut sticking on the top of the strut housing. The strut AND spring assembly are supposed to turn as a unit, not independently of each other. Either: 1) whoever assembled the strut did it wrong or 2) the upper strut mount has expired.
