From your other thread:
The sound and the rolling park are making me think it's your axles and/or your diff. Subaru autos are not strong, but you've only got 114k miles; they're usually not THAT weak. Are you experiencing any slip?
That looks like a busted cv axle :smt002 Go get a new one!

just replace the axle's much cheaper than getting the CV replaced...

how much is that going to cost?

why does it still click a million times going into park (then keep rolling)
the dealership said something about my drive train.. yada yada $450-700 fix


are you sure its the cv?

sorry.. lol

Absolutely positive it is the axle. Replace it. It shouldn't take a competant mechanic more than 20-30 minutes to replace. It is expensive at the dealership becuase they use new OEM axles at about $300 each. A rebuilt axle from NAPA is about $70.

That should be clicking when you make turns. Not sure about what would be clicking going into park. That sounds like an engagement problem on the auto-tranny.
