Right front axle was making a tapping noise only when accelerating , and turning to the right ... Upon inspection was revealed the axle joints were damaged. Since I travel 150 miles a day and this has been going on since the last scheduled oil change ( ~6 weeks ~6K ) took the hit to have the component replaced ( not very happy & am beginning to question Subaru's reliability, since this is the 2nd repair this year..( so far) , hoping this is it for the balance of the year.. |

Clutch replaced in addition to the clutch release bearing( because it made sense & the whole thing was apart anyway) |
