do your homework here, otherwise u will just be replacing parts. tire pressure,circumfrance and same brands are critical. as well make sure the ball joints etc are in good condition. by taking out the driveshaft your mechanic has only eliminated the driveshaft u-joints as a possible cause. you have front u-joints, front ball joints, sway bar links, springs, radius arm bushings that may be causing the noise. the pop is caused by something worn that is being put in a bind while turning. sorry i am no help here but your mechanic needs to go further then taking out a driveshaft and confirming the axle is bad... a bit more to it than that. wish u luck.
I'm making a guess that if this is a noise that gets better (but doesn't go away) once the car has warmed up, you probably have one or more tappets that are out of adjustment. I have a feeling that they are hydraulic tappets on this vehicle. You are going to have to either try to trace the offending ones or swap out the lot if they are hydraulic.
to be honest, ide take it to another garage, getting another car i think sounds more expencive than getting the work done, but deppends on what other car you are going to get, so realy, it would be up to you...hope that helps
I think you should buy repair manual first for your vehicle after that it will be easy for you to solve the problem. Check the link may be you will find something useful here 2005 Subaru Legacy
If your vehicle has a driveshaft it sounds like a U-Joint is failing. You will have to go underneath your vehicle to examine the joints. Sometimes the joint will have powdered rust around it, or it may have a grease track extending to the bottom of the floorpan.
You should be able to get a little play in the joint if it is bad. Be sure to block the wheels to prevent rolling if this is a manual transmission.
Hi, have the same problem with my 1995 legacy gt twin turbo and the problem lyes with the ecu temp switch, it sound's like the ecu thinks the engine needs more fuel to start and run
Turn off engine . get the vehicle on level ground. try to move driveshaft back an forth or,by rocking in twist motion,,, try to hear a knock,,,this would indicate a worn universal joint.either front or back, if you are good enough to discern which one is making the klunk, change both to be on the safe side. think they may be about 20 dol apiece.
