Hello all.

Through the summer I began noticing a popping in what seemed to be the front suspension of my Outback, mostly when backing out of parking spaces and low speed maneuvering. I've noticed a pretty direct correlation between backing and the popping noise, and believe I'm hearing it in the rear now, too.

My car had it's 30K mile service recently and an alignment was done at this time. I live on an island so it's quite an ordeal to get back to the dealer.

Any thoughts on things I could easily check to maybe track this down? My hunch is that it's in the endlinks of the sway bar but I'm open to suggestions. I've already done a search of the forums but haven't found any threads yet relating to my issue.

Thanks for your thoughts.

This thread seems to be along the lines of what I'm experiencing, not very reassuring especially given all of the problems I've had with this car already (three wheels replaced, passenger front door replacement, etc).

Any other thoughts or solutions are welcome.
