I have yet to pick up the car from the mechanic but yesterday I heard and felt a loud snap as I exited a steep driveway (but going slowly and carefully). Broken tie rod. I have 105k on the car, just did the oil leak fix along with timing belt, water pump et al a few weeks ago. What's next??
Anyway, I poked around the archives and have not seen anyone have this problem on a legacy of any year. The mechanic said he's never seen this happen before with no obvious precipitating factor (like running over a boulder or something). My first thought was defective tie rod but if there's no history on this problem, maybe it was just me.
