clicking.... what can i do????

[The Deej]

So, i wrecked my car.... about 45 mph, took a turn, jumped the curb, and stoped while my front end is buried in the side of a tree. The car is fixed at a local shop (if your in the Albany, Ga area, check out Charlie's Garage, really good people, shameless plug) . I drive back to Colorado and everything was fine. I then drove up from Denver to Estes. Now, the car's idling low (about/under 750 RPM's), and there is a real shake when I stop at a light. I also have a problem with turning. When i turn with speed (over 20 mpr) there is no problem, but anything under that, there is a bad thump. Its a sound like the tires are hitting the inside of the tire well, and the more you drive, the worse it is. Is this a problem with my Rotors, my axles, my rack-and-pinion, or the suspention? Any help rocks. 2004 Subaru Outback, 4cylinder, manual trans., IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO??? :oops:

Thanks, more than you know,

Sounds to me like CV's going bad. Time to get some new axles. Does it do it either way you turn or just a certain direction?

As for shaking...maybe motor mounts.

i had the same problem with my '94 Legacy wagon... it ended up being the passenger side axle. the boot gave out and i had to push the car home... LOL!! but the good thing, the axle was only like $65 after the core charge and it only took about an hour to install at my house. good luck.

Its both sides, but its not all the time, i drove it around town here all day without any problems at all. But the other day when i came back from Fort Collins, driving at a regular speed of 50 mph, it starts as soon as i pull into a lot and drive slow

hmmm, it could still be what i had wrong with my Legacy, course i should tell you that mine is a lowly FWD model!! maybe you have mud/snow caked inside your rims or maybe you need an alignment?
