Re: Mounts & Bushings.. Subframes & Other Mounts.. .

Yep! .. The creaking/rotational noise went away .. It was the center bearing. YEAH!

Now.. As I had feared when I took the front driveshaft off the center bearing .. It appears the U-Joint on that front driveshaft is bad. One pivot point was smooth.. the other, sorta smooth in the straight position, but very tight turning either way. Does anyone know about rebuilding these? or buying a used one? cuz all you can buy on SubaruParts.com is an entire 2-piece driveshaft for ~$400!

I get a droning sound now at about 2000 rpm in Drive .. I think it's the U-Joint!

Thanks..
