2019 Subaru WRX 4dr Sedan
turbocharged 310hp 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD
| 6000 mi US $150 |
Rear lower control arms were modified by me previous to this trip. During the alignment the shop had to repair the install so they would not slip. |
| 11000 mi US $60 |
Had to tighten the upper bolt connecting the shock to the top hats. Also had to tighten the shocks to the strut tower. |
2016 Subaru WRX 4dr Sedan
turbocharged 305hp 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD
| 8000 mi | There is power steering chatter during the entire turn radius from right to left. No chatter if turning left to right. |
| 11000 mi | Power steering issue remains unfixed. Dealer is blaming whining from the steering on "worn, abused" tires. It's ridiculous and I have Subaru of America involved. They are having a district engineer come to drive the car. |
| 13000 mi | I have had a whining noise and difficulty steering, both when steering to the left. They replaced the steering rack. |

turbocharged 305hp 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD
| 47120 mi C $550 |
The Steering Rack froze and cracked open in very cold weather, draining all of the fluid out. System then ran without fluid, causing the pump to also fail. Was mostly covered under extended warranty except for Wheel Alignment and the added cost to go up to OEM parts. |

Bad wheel bearing |
| 77000 mi US $150 |
Suspension mount was leaking grease creating noise when coming to a stop |
