Front End Noise help
I am getting this squeak coming from my front end when coming off the line.
It sounds like a tire slipping, but if seems to happen no matter how softly I launch the car. This seems to be coming mainly from the PS front and only coming off a stop.
I'm worried I jost a U-joint, but would that normally clunks, not sqeal

It's a stock front end except for an ebay STB (waste of $$ BTW) and KYB non adj shocks.
I replaced the serpentine belt with OEM last year and did the idler at the same time.
Did the clutch last year with T/O bearing. Stock style Kevlar/Organic clutch from Superior Friction. It's been flawless so far. How do the clutch hydrallics hold up?
The car has about 80K miles on it, could this be timing belt??

I wasn't sure if it was a cogged belt... I've never dug into a Subie that far and have seen Euro cars with conventional belts.
I'll check sepentine tension tomorrow

Check and make sure your exhast bolts are tight and that it's not rubbing up against anything. It on the passenger side. Turned out to be my DP to mid pipe. I bought a cheap ebay DP and the mounting tab broke off because it was a flimsy piece of metal and caused the DP to have a lot more movement that necessary.
