| Description of the problem | When i purchased my new vehicle last july, i noticed driving it home there was a "clunk" sound coming from the front end when i went over railroad tracks or any bump. I took it back to subaru and they found a bent and twisted part on the right front suspension. I now have 19k on my car a year later. I noticed my right rear tire bald only on the out side. All other tire tread is perfect. So i take it back to subaru and they had it aligned and said the right wheel had been tipped out! I drive my car very easy! I have never hit anything that would cause this malfunction. The tire co. Will not replace my worn tire and i am feeling a bit slighted on this as i feel it was likely a problem from the car hauler or something. Perhaps too aggressively cinching the car on the trailer... Or something! Both incidents were on the right side of the car. I feel that i should have at the least a new set of tires! This has been no fault of mine in any way! |
