I have a '97 Subaru Impreza with 150k miles on it. This spring I
noticed loud sqealling noises when I'd first start the car (well the
noise would start the first time I turned the wheel. Also, when cold
and sqealing the battery light would flash on a few times. I brought
it in to Subaru and they checked the belts (at the time I only told
them it sqealled when started (not when I would steer). They said the
belts looked fine. Now, a few months later I'm noticing that the
steering is making weird noises sometimes. I only occurs when doing a
slow hard turn (in a parking lot, or pulling out of a road for
instance). It sounds kind of like when you turn the wheel all the way
over and hit the end (like a whirring/rubbing noise). Also, during
this time the wheel kind of vibrates a bit (like the power steering is
coming and going). I called Subaru and explained the problem, they
say sounds like front differential (big $$$). Going to have it
checked tomorrow. Anyone have any ideas at what I'm looking at?
Thanks!!
