Some Subaru Crosstrek owners report experiencing a grinding noise from the front right strut mount, particularly when driving over bumps or rough surfaces. This issue is commonly associated with wear, damage, or looseness of the strut mount. Technicians recommend inspecting the strut mounts, and if any signs of wear or damage are found, owners should consider tightening or replacing them to alleviate the problem. However, some owners find that the grinding noise may persist even after replacing related components like suspension arms, indicating that the upper strut mount may also need replacement. Addressing these concerns promptly can help ensure a smoother driving experience.
