CrEaKiNg.. .
My SVX creaks if I turn sharply to the left OR right (when stopped) and then suddenly accelerate! Heard of such a thing? Seems like it might be the subframe supporting the A-Arms or AT or engine mount creaking (metal against metal).. . while being "torqued" by the drivetrain stress I have mentioned.
Its been doing this for over a year... I replaced both axles trying to "finger-it-out".. . Ha! Now, I do seem to be developing a front driver-side bearing noise, but dont see any connection to THAT! No one commented last year here at Subaru-SVX.net when I first asked about this.. . Any ideas??? Jim

Re: CrEaKiNg.. .
I had a non-Subaru that creaked like that and it was bad ball joints. You might check yours.

Re: CrEaKiNg.. .
my svx creaks when I look at it.
280,000 miles and counting..... Can you have someone outside the car listen for it? Does it still do it if you hold the brake to the floor and step on the gas?

Re: CrEaKiNg.. .
I'll try... You mean.. Light brake pressure (or hard braking?) while turning, accelerating from stop?

Re: CrEaKiNg.. .
