    My Outback has an annoying vibration issue that seems to come and go. When I get on the highway, it sometimes develops a shimmy that gets worse above ~50-55 mph. The shimmy can go on for a few minutes and get bad enough that it feels like the whole car is shaking, not just the steering wheel...

    I recently picked a Thule Vector M Roof Box and installed it on the factory roof rack of my 2017 3.6R Outback. The experience at highway speeds proved to be terrifying with the roof rack slamming up and down onto the car roof. I was very lucky it did not break the moon roof. In the past with a...

    So I have a 2012 outback 2.5L automatic with just under 200000mi. It has developed and interesting problem feature that after extensive research I cannot find another thread or vid discussing the same issue. Problem indicator: Noise only (so far) From a stop, light acceleration and there is a...

    Today I go to take her in for state inspection which I have been putting off in hopes of getting into this fabled garage being dangled in front of me like a carrot on a stick, but since it's not happening and she is my most depended on vehicle, off I went. Going down the road not a problem until...
  5. Engine & Drivetrain
    Good afternoon! We have a 2011 Outback 2.5 with 165k miles and the CVT. Over the past 6 months, an enigmatic vibration has been developing in the driveline somewhere that - for lack of a better description - makes it feel like we're running on knobby mud terrain tires. I'm running out of ideas...

    good day, friends, I have Vibration in a 2015 Subaru Crosstrek . Unknown reasons. The vibration is in the front of the car , after 45 miles speed. With any position of the steering wheel. This happens on the freeway. On little speeds of 30 miles per hour this doesn’t happen. What do you...

    Note: I did my research already but could not find a good answer for me. A few other topics here and YouTube videos talk about similar stuff but I can confirm they are not the same sound and/or symptoms Hi all My '08 3.0R started to make a making a rattling noise about 3 weeks ago. The sound...

    Whatup Friends! I have a 2011 3.6L Outback with 180k on it with Vibration Issues under acceleration and at speed. 6 Cylinder with Automatic Trans Vibration was minimal at first, then over 5-10k miles it progressed and is very strong now. Won't drive it highway for more than a few miles...

    I'm currently putting together a log of trials for vibration analysis on my lifted 2017 Outback 3.6R. I am curious if there are others out there that will to help compile data by volunteering to collect data as well. Once I have a few interested folks I will elaborate more... For now, the...
  10. Problems & DIY Maintenance
    My 2012 outback 2.5i vibrates on approaching full stop. This happens in first 10-15 min of driving and it goes away. I checked the fluids and also changed the oil/filter a few days ago. Again, once it is warmed up, it goes away. It is from the engine area, with no noise. Almost feels like...

  12. Gen 2: 2000-2004
    I've got an old 2004 Outback that's done quite a lot of service over the years. For the last two or three years it's had a loud vibration noise that sounds a bit like grinding come out of the passenger side front wheel well area at low RPM. I never really bothered to do much about that, since...

    At 40+ mph I get a juddering. There's a clear, mechanical vibration in the front-end. (It sounds like if a motor mount was bad and the engine was hitting the worn mount but it cushioned just enough to produce a muffled knock and a mild vibration.) It only happens when the steering wheel is...

    My 2008 Subaru Outback started vibrating while accelerating, most pronounced between 30-60mph, but still there at any speed. It stops when you coast and when braking. We put the FWD fuse in to disable AWD and the vibration is not present. Clearly something to do with rear wheels.. Not the...
  15. Suspension & Brakes
    Hi all, I have an 02 Outback Limited (2.5L, 5spd manual) whose steering wheel vibrates intermittently at around 70mph plus. This happened for the first time after my shifter linkage bushing (I don't see how that would have anything to do with it, but I'm new to this world so will include the...

Where does the sound come from? X Can't...

    Hello, I am experiencing a vibration that sounds like it is coming from the B Pillar. It almost sounds like plastic rattling but it is very inconsistent. I have been to the dealer twice already. Thought it was fixed today and had been able to replicate with a rubber mallet and tapping the door...

    I have a new 2021 Outback Touring with only 500 miles and have a vibration sound when going over bumps and rough roads. The vibration sound is similar to one made by a bad speaker , except the radio is turned off. It appears to be coming from the back passengers seat area and is less pronounced...

    I've got a 2006 Outback L.L. Bean edition automatic trans. and when sitting in the driver seat if I tap my left heel with some force I can feel the whole car shake when at a stop. wondering if i should check my shock absorbers out or just replace them entirely? Thanks for any help!
  20. Tires & Wheels
    A subaru 2012 outback has a loud sound from the tires when going forward, getting on highway sounds like a plane ! There is more vibration inside the car too. Alignment, balancing and tire quality are ruled out. A friend said on the lift he noticed only front wheel turns so the awd works like a...
