Bought a 2000 outback with 58000KM on it and noticed soon after that there was a thumping noise that could be heard and felt in turns. They replaced the power steering lines because of a known issue withe size of the lines. There is a TSB out on this aswell. But there is still a lot of suspension thumping that can be heard inside when travelling over expansion gaps or cracks in the road. The rattle that could be felt is gone when turning but it does seem that if you hit a hole or are travelling on a gravel road that there still might be a bit of thumping felt even travelling in a straight line. To me it seems like the strut mounts might be worn or maybe a sway bar bushing if there is one is worn. Anyone had a similiar experience, because it seems a little early to have these suspension parts worn? Thanks Dave
