before you make first assumptions of what it could be, i have:
so this is a problem i have been dealing with since shortly after i purchased my outback in 2010 with 186k. everyone i drive with cringes when it happens, i myself have become extremely comfortable with the problem and tell worried passengers that its a its a good noise", the truth is if it went away i would be more fearfull than i am now.
Its A sharp clang that sounds like metal catching metal, and then slipping of and catching metal again shortly after. it only happens when im in a full turn (both directions) and is coming from the tranny/ diff *not* the axles. the car has 209.5k and ha been making the noise for over 15k..... recently it has become more vicious than the past, so ill set my pride aside for a second and ask, what could it possibly be?
P.S no job is to big for the sake of my lego's, i have alot more info on the cars history if anyone thinks some more info would help
Cheers all,

- swapped both front cv axles ( not just reboot, new axles)
- changed diff fluid
- the tires have a fairly even wear to them. i have suspected it was the locking differential acting up because of tire pressure, wear ect. but the tires never lock up, and the car dosent jerk much during the noise, its just a violent *DUD* *DUD* *DUD* at a full turn at parking lot speeds.
- the problem only occurs after the axles/ tranny have warmed up for 40 plus minutes. when its cold it feels very tit-s and turns on a dime.
