I was going to say this. I'd done some work on my car years ago and I guess I was in such a hurry I neglected to do the wheel nuts up properly.....I'm so ashamed.

Well, take your wheel brace out of the boot, (assuming you have one), and put it on the wheel nuts and try to turn them around.
It they turn the they are loose.

If they are loose tighten them up.

It alls sounds quite silly but it is possible.

Ok ! Sooooooooooo Outcome ! Certain Subaru Dealer told me it would be the rear struts to fix and $1500.... however, STechnic worked out it was the centre diff that was seized !

but its running perfect now, no thumping when she turns and the whole steering feels better going round corners !!!!! Luvs It !
