pleaidestar Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) When it was binding it wasn't making that noise, but I will do that again and test for the bind in first gear tomorrow. Thanks for that, I have not driven a automatic trans car since high school, never wanted too after I learned how to drive manual so not to keen on how they work and didn't know what torque bind was until I bought a Subaru. All the help is appreciated felons. Edited April 23, 2013 by pleaidestar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleaidestar Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Ok I decided to drive to the nearest open lot and do the tight circles in steering lock, car seemed to track well and I could hear the rear tires gripping. I'm not certain I had torque bind to begin with a few months ago because when I did the drain and fills with the lubeguard the differences I felt in the car was less shaking at a stop light and shifting was a bit harder, maybe my understanding of torque bind is a little off. What is supposed to be going on during torque bind when your doing the circles? I did do a few figure 8's at about 35mph and heard that scraping noise and kind of a faint whine when entering the turns...that sounds differential related bit obviously don't know much about them. Bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 If you are getting torque bind, the car will push/scrub the tires instead of smoothly turning and you'll get obvious noise from the center differential (localized under your e-brake handle). Running stock tires/wheels? No potential for the inner wheel to rub on anything? - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleaidestar Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 No rubbing as far as I can tell, I looked at all my splash shields and just did my brake pads and rotors, I'm running 16inch wrx wheels with 205/55/zr16 plenty of clearance under there...I agree its differential related I just felt another symptom that is related to it, when I pulled up to a store this morning to grab a coffee I made a complete stop and the car seemed like it wanted to creep forward and it felt like something released and made a clunk noise and the car settled. Felt that before but didn't pay no mind to it. .I hope I'm explaining correctly, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sludgeroo Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I know that's why I don't feel guilty kinda beatin on it. It sat for a while and got neglected the whole time so it doesn't look as 51k as it should, but it runs great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
