Ok so, for starters,
I own a 2008 forester XT
Automatic
No major modifications:
Ksport coil overs
Removed intake baffle in front passenger fender
Max boost up'd to 18psi (highest I've seen it do is 16psi)
Story goes, when I put my coil overs on, I popped the inner boot off my front passenger axle by accident. Pushed it back on, made sure it held, took it to Subaru to do an alignment immediately after. They did a whole bunch of other work like an exhaust gasket in the joint beside the rear cat, rear trailing arm bushing and front passenger outer cv boot ripped so they replaced that. I told them to check the inner one and fill it back up with grease and explained to them what happened with the boot. For about a week I felt a slight shake, almost hesitating, so I inspected the axles, and sure enough they needed to be changed. Bought a set of surtrack's from rock auto, just installed them today with no issues. I go to start it up and the motor is rumbling like crazy. Engine was cold by this point. Waited till it got up temperature, and it wasn't as bad but still very evident.
Took it around the block and seems its only under load. Only In reverse and drive. Does not do it in neutral or park. When I slowly accelerate at a green light it rumbles and shakes and can be felt through the floor and the steering wheel. If I accelerate quickly, it shakes at rattles the whole car.
The only thing I can think of is when we lifted the car with the jack I placed it under the crossmember. The same place I always lift it from :s
It doesn't seem to be an exhaust leak, if it was it sounds like the exhaust has been completely removed haha.
If I put it in drive, foot on the brake and rev it to about 1500-2000 rpm it shakes and rattles the most.
I can't see it having anything to do with the cv shafts as the vehicle doesn't have to be moving the create the problem. I'm leaning for towards engine or transmission problem.
The ring/clip on the ends of the axles on the transmission side came out with the old axles so I'm positive they didn't fall in.
Anyone have any idea what could be going on?
