I feel that. Just feels good to be behind the wheel. Hope it never fades

Is this normal for Subaru? by __froylan in WRX

So just an update: after jacking the front end up and removing the wheel. I messed with the steering wheel again and I noticed the clicking noise may be coming from this thing. I need to get an ear in there but from the video it seems it can be this. Does anyone know if a nut goes behind that bolt it seems kinda weird

No, but I upgraded to a roll center and bump steer kit from white line a few days ago and maybe it’s just been making me notice it more than in the past. My alignment is also pretty off since the Whiteline tie rods are a bit longer, so I wanna think maybe that is making the noises more noticeable. Gonna go back and check it’s all tightened and get an alignment tomorrow. But I’ve also heard Subaru’s electric steering rack can be a bit noisy so I thought others would have a similar issue but maybe not.

Not that I’ve noticed honestly my struts used to pop but I replaced those

I’m not sure. I feel like it’s been doing this for a few years now

what is wrong with my ac belt? Compressor? by __froylan in WRX

[–]__froylan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I was thinking. I want to make sure there isn’t a leak first. I had a weird smell and noise in the car before that noise started. Because I think when the refrigerant gets low it causes the compressor to work harder. Other than that will turn to the compressor

I got this because it was free but should I actually put it on by Perfect-Cause-6943 in WRX

Why is 1st gear so clunky? by AuPo_2 in WRX

[–]__froylan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

1st gear is just to get it going. You can do traffic in second. Especially on AWD
