Hello out there. I have a 2019 Ascent.
Here’s my issue. Three years ago I had the ready lift kit installed. About 8 months ago I started hearing clicking when turning at neighborhood speeds and a thumping noise going over pot holes. After taking it to two Subaru dealerships and the 4X4 shop that installed the lift kit. It was diagnosed as a failing CV joint and tie rod bolt had loosened. Head technician said due to the extreme angle due to the lift (only 2 inches) was causing the CV to fail. They said modifications should have been made to better align the axle when the lift was installed.
Anybody experienced this with the lifted Ascent?
