Got a weird noise coming from the powertrain/driveshaft area of my 03WRX (with 5K on clock). It only seems to happen though when I reverse on full lock. Best way to describe it is it's as if the CV joints are shot and I can feel something notchy through the steering wheel.

Any of you people had the same issue???

 

funny u should mention that mate im comming back home for the same problem on my 01 wrx as well as clutch judder only at least i got 28 thou outa mine n a couple o ring trips let me know how u get on

 

We can sort your existing CV joints or give you new ones. clicky

 

Cheers Lisan, but the car is under warranty (FOC repairs).
If it gets worse I'll be paying the dealer a visit. Although I wouldn't expect the CV's to give up after 5K miles of normal driving.
You could be of help to others here though. Cheers.

 

Check that the inside of the tyre isnt catching the Arch, a prob on new age and Bugeyes's... Only in reverse for some reason

mine does the same (my02 bug eye) but only in the cold, loads of people have said theirs do the same

 

Very strange you should say that, it only happens to me in the cold and only when reversing at almost full lock. I'm not too concerned though as soon as I pull off it's fine (even at warp factor 9 Mr Sulu). Cheers.
