Subaru Experts!
Good day, everyone.
I need some opinions from you experts. I bought my 23 subaru OBW last year and have been chasing the notorious front-end clunk. I'm new to the subaru world. I can not seem to find anything loose in the suspension. All boots, arms, and bushings seem fine. It's worth noting that I've had beaters my whole life. So, seeing a suspension that's not rusting to shit and oozing all over the place is new to me.
The question here is:
Based on the GIF. Does this control arm bushing seem worn enough to replace, and would this be a suspect for my clunking? I am not applying a lot of pressure to get it to move like that. It's also slowed down .
The left side does look slightly torn but seems louder on the right.....
The clunking happens when just driving normally. Driving over cracks in the road, slight dips, basic shit! It's on both sides as well.
I took the car into the dealership, and they said there was nothing wrong. My 3-year-old car should not sound like my 1990 excort wagon....
I had a friend in the car, and they instantly asked why my new cars front end sounds like shit....this was reassuring that I wasn't being crazy. Lol
