My 97'Outback makes funny noises when turning hard at slow speeds.Mostly when pulling in and out of parking spaces.I recently replaced the inner tie rod,but the noise is still there.It feels like something is binding when slow hard turns are being made.Is this something that is common with AWD vechicles? The car runs great otherwise no front end noises when turning during normal driving.

Axles are about $150 and replacement is about $200 depending on labor rates in your areaFlag ThisLike | 1 person likes this1 -
