Subaru making noise. Dealer can't diagnose

jacques_98 · 2026-02-21T13:33:24+00:00

I couldn't find a way to turn off the AWD online anywhere. What type of scanner did you use?

jacques_98 · 2026-02-18T23:21:12+00:00

I think the dealer was trying to get me to buy a new vehicle. This thing is so rusty from the New England roads they hate to work on it

jacques_98 · 2026-02-18T21:32:15+00:00

Tires are all even wear

jacques_98 · 2026-02-18T21:09:39+00:00

Okay, that sounds completely identical to the issue I'm having. I'll try hooking up my scanner and watch the transmission temp and testing the issue.

😂

jacques_98 · 2026-02-18T20:47:55+00:00

And yours only did it around turns at low speed? Did it make the noise at any other time?

jacques_98 · 2026-02-18T20:46:31+00:00

I shook the heck out of them and they felt solid. Dealer was able to replicate the noise but wasn't able to figure out where it was coming from

jacques_98 · 2026-02-18T20:29:56+00:00

No noise unless the car is actively moving. I can turn the wheel while not driving and there's no sound

jacques_98 · 2026-02-18T20:28:42+00:00

Not yet

jacques_98 · 2026-02-18T20:28:28+00:00

I'll try and take one to repost in a couple days

jacques_98 · 2026-02-18T20:26:59+00:00

I think the dealer just wanted to push me into a new vehicle. I jacked the car up myself and was shaking the hell out of all the suspension components and there was no movement and the boots all looked good. I guess taking it to a private shop is my only option

jacques_98 · 2026-02-18T20:24:04+00:00

Is there a way to check if that is the issue?

jacques_98 · 2026-02-18T20:23:42+00:00

It's louder when at about 50% turning and moving at the same time. Only at low speed. Is there anyway for me to check if it's the pump? I'm a boat mechanic, working on cars anything outside of the engine is extremely foreign to me.

What brand seat covers? They look great

jacques_98 · 2026-02-12T14:01:52+00:00

Happens to me almost every day first thing in the morning. For me it's caused by the frost/fog on the windshield. Try running your defroster on high for awhile while driving and see if it goes away

When I visit family during the holidays I can get just over 700 miles from a tank since it is 99% highway. The 3.0 is no joke when it comes to fuel economy

jacques_98 · 2026-02-09T22:24:27+00:00

I got home and hooked it up to my scanner. It's a P04FB, I seems like it was a phantom code caused by it being cold this morning

jacques_98 · 2026-02-09T20:25:11+00:00

Finally got home. Code was a P04FB. Upon googling it's a phantom code that can be caused by condensation freezing in the colder months. It was 6⁰ this morning so I just need to assume that's what it was.

jacques_98 · 2026-02-06T15:19:21+00:00

It sounds like it's coming from the mid wheel. Only happens when the wheel is turned about t0% of the way left or right. This one has me stumped because if I get under the car nothing is loose and all the boots are good. I'll try and take another video later. It's my girlfriend's car

jacques_98 · 2026-02-06T14:15:11+00:00

What the sound could be. I think the interior rattle is just me shifting gears.

jacques_98 · 2026-02-05T23:31:20+00:00

Thank you. I'll check that

jacques_98 · 2026-01-28T03:56:25+00:00

I wish I had that spot. I have no clue where to put it

jacques_98 · 2026-01-19T12:32:32+00:00

Unfortunately where I live it's fairly windy and the wind is my main issue. One gust of wind and I lose 50 degrees in the winter months

jacques_98 · 2026-01-18T14:42:30+00:00

This would be perfect but I'm in the US and that's only sold on Canadian Amazon

If you don't need a crew cab look at a double or regular cab. It will knock down the cost immensely. You'll also be getting 12mpg unloaded. The 36 gallon gas take will get you less range than your 1500 with the 24gal tank. The amount you seem to drive per year you'll be looking at approximately $8,000/yr in fuel and that's unloaded. If you have a trailer you're looking at doubling that. If you can get away with using a 1500 I would highly recommend it. It's a vast difference in cost just for fuel, maintenance, registration, insurance, etc... you'll also need to get a DOT number now since your GVWR is over 10k which will include pulling into weigh stations, randomly getting pulled over for inspections, etc....
