I own a 1995 Subaru Legacy L with two wheel drive and 115,000 miles. I have to different problems that I'm working on, but I wanted to hear some idea.
1) when driving I get a ticking sound (noise) coming from the rear end that increasing with the rate of travel. It isn't a grinding noise, but a tick, tick tick tick. I'm not sure if it's the brake drums or shoes or a wheel bearing or what exactly.2) I replaced the front passenger side transaxle (CV joint) with a rebuilt one this summer and have gotten a single thunk or clunk whenever I turn and accelerate. While I was replacing the transaxle I also replaced the ball joint, but it appears to be well seated and the entire assembly is tight. (in other words if I try and shake everything from the strut assembly when it's on jack stands it isn't loose. I've also checked the CV joint and it's well installed. The locking pin is in place and the retaining nut at the end is properly torqued.
I would appreciate any help! Thanks,
