Clunking Scoob
 
Thought this may have been a common fault my scoob drives fine from cold but after a run on turning left or right its cluncky and you can feel it up the steering column. Have checked power steering level and changed gearbox oil so far we have had it on the lift and driveshafts feel ok any ideas ?

sounds like centre diff mate i had exactly the same problem.

Flathead 11 November 2010 05:15 PM

Sounds expensive was it ?

MrJim 11 November 2010 05:38 PM

total bill including motul gear oil and labour +vat came to about £600

Think you have hit the nail on the head with this diagnosis done a search on impreza centre diff and this seems a common fault. Will possibly get a secondhand one is this what you fitted ? My youngest is a mechanic so i can save some of the labour charges, thanks for your help.

hi mate, i had a new one fitted for that price,just one more tip the gearbox does not have to come out to fit it :thumb:

MrJim 11 November 2010 07:50 PM

just one more thing a new one costs about £340

Guess a new one makes more sense do you mind if i ask where you sourced yours from ?

MrJim 13 November 2010 03:13 PM

Hi Mate i got mine done at SUBARU4YOU in newbury top bunch of guys.
