:) Very good suggestion there Greg, and yes I did and that is not it. The sound is exactly like a single piece of tire swinging out and hitting the wheel well, and at 60+ mph it is, of coarse, fast thumping and loud. Might it be the strut top connection loose, and anyone know of a 'non-specialized' ...

Need some help from any of you wizards who might be reading this. I have had a 91 Legacy L with automatic for about 3 months. A few weeks ago it began not shifting out of first gear, then it would, then it wouldn't, then sometimes it would shift good to third but no fourth. Then sometimes it works p...
