Clunky Subaru
My girlfriend drives a 2014 Subaru Forrester, 5 speed, roughly 80,000 miles on it. The car has four snow tires on right now.
When I make a sharp turn at low speed it feels the the AWD system is 'fighting itself', a bit clunky and jerky, sometimes gthere is a bit of noise, maybe the CV?. It is sort of like driving a car in 4WD low on pavement, but not nearly that bad.
It feels to me like it might be worse in reverse, but it's subjective, I am not 100% certain that is true.
At normal speeds the car is very good, I only feel this at low speeds, and only with the wheel cranked.
Is this normal for a Subaru? Or is this a symptom of a mechanical AWD issue?
