95 Suabru Legacy 250T wobble

[SiccyP]

Hi all,
First post here I offer you a warm hello to you all :)

I have a problem with my 95 250T. I've noticed recently when driving around the 40km/h mark that I get a wobble/bouncing (which is most noticiable in the passenger seat). This happens intermittently. I haven't gone over any bumps and am driving down a newly sealed road.
Can anyone shed some light on what the issue might be?

Many Thanks
Iain

Explain more about this "wobble" - it could be unbalanced wheels/tires.

Rotate your tires and see if it changes at all - if it does it's probably an out of balance wheel or a defective tire.

Hiya,
It's like a small "bumpy" up and down motion, like you're driving over a rutted road surface. I had the tyres ballanced about a month ago, maybe they've gone out again?

Could be a bearing or a busted CV joint, jack the car up and try pulling on the wheels to see if there's any play in them.

Will give it a go this morning,
Cheers.

Hiya,
Just jacked up all four tyres.....no play in them at all.

Check the tire itself for broken belts. If it's bad, a slight lump will show in the contact patch area.

At the risk of sounding simple...."broken belts"? I can't see any lumps.

Getting all 4 tyres replaced on Wednesday. Will see if it disappears.

What is a 250T? We never got that model designation in the US.

It's the 2.5l non turbo station wagon. Think most of them are japan imports.

Hi all,
Just thought I would confirm that since the 4 tyre chage this morning, the issue seems to have been resolved.

Cheers All.
