Correct. A common problem with Foresters along with rear wheel bearings simply by driving through a puddle or two. ( ? ) precise description. At 60, it feels like you are driving over those tiny road bumps...
@@Rustyrailhead quote is $2000 with Subaru parts (front left & right only) & wheel alignment needed. Sounds astounding with only !00,000 km! 5 years old. Video is below.
I recently had my front brakes replaced and a tire rotation. When I left the dealership, they said my bushings and control arms were loose and torn. I would have noticed this, and it wasn’t until I left the dealership that I could CLEARLY feel “thuds” when going over bumps. The situation quickly worsened. I find it strange that a ‘16 Forester with perfect suspension suddenly needs this work, especially since they were trying to get me to do other unnecessary work that day.
A similar thing happened to my wife. Took out 2015 Forrester for tire balancing due to the whining noise the tires were making. Just after that, the heavy clunking sounds started, constant over 60 mph, intermittent at 40 mph. I jacked it up, and the front right lower control arm bushing is shot - easy to move the wheel by hand and the bushing is, practically gone. What happened?!? How did it go from fine to this overnight?

Exactly what Christian Brothers automotive found on my ‘17 Forester. Exactly my description of symptoms too! 80k+ miles
and what they quote at Christian brothers for replacing the bushing. An too does it need an alignment after.

Now being told 2016 Forester 48k miles bushings need replacement! WTF
2014 Forester 56k miles, both sides bushings need replacing
I love Subaru but some of the mechanical parts fail far too quickly😮
2021 Forester @ only 30k kms and one control arm needs replacement.
