Guess the Outback issue
Quote:
Anyone want to internet diagnose? Lots of on center slop. Have to move the wheel probably 2-2.5 times as much as before the car starts moving. When it does start turning, the amount of initial response is inconsistent. Once fully into the turn, it’s mostly normal. In gentle turns to the right at freeway speeds, the steering almost feels stepped. Like a sequence of very subtle detents. Similar turns to the left, or nearly-abrupt lane changes to the left under power (think merging onto freeway and quickly moving another lane or two left) initiate a significant vibration from left front. At freeway cruise, steering is not confidence inspiring. At suburban side street speeds, it feels icky to me, but not necessarily “unsafe.” My wife felt the vibration after I pointed it out. She doesn’t feel anything else. I never would have called the front suspension quiet, but it be noisier now. Or I’m just hearing it louder because of the other issues. Dropping at shop tonight. Any guesses what may be going on?
