My mother has a 2006 Subaru Outback. About 12000 miles ago we put new tires on it and began to notice road noise. It has progressively got louder to its current state. You seriously need ear muffs/plugs to drive the vehicle at 40 mph. So yesterday we borrowed my brothers car which is a 2008 forester. It conveniently had the same wheel and bolt pattern. We switched tires and wheels between the two vehicles to see if the noise was transferred to my brothers vehicle. To our surprise my brothers vehicle stayed quiet as ever and my mothers car is still unbelievably loud.
When her car was up on jack stands we spun the tires and noticed no considerable drag, grind, growl, or sound. The tires are at their correct pressure. None of the universal joints have grease fittings. The rear end has the correct amount of fluid. The vehicle has been maintenanced to all manufacturer specifications.
The vehicle has around 32,000 miles, has never been through mud or a field. It has never been in an accident which would cause an out of alignment situation.
What are your thoughts? Thanks as always.
