wheel jump

[notruck]

I just got a outback awd when I turn at low speeds there is a
jumping and a clunking sound. It sounds like it’s coming from the
rear. It’s a 1996 with 130,000 miles on it

Sounds like torque bind. Locate a small plastic box under the hood wit
the letters FWD. Inside there is a fuse. Install this fuse and th
problem should disappear. If the problem does go away then this mean
that unit bolted to the backside of the transmission needs replaced

assuming it's is automatic. If it is MT then torque bind can because caused
by the front tires being a different diameter than the rear - solution is to
get new set of four tires.

If it only happens after the car has been warmed up (and it's a
manual), it might be torque bind of the center differential. Not
cheap. Mine went at 150,000kms (90ish k miles)

Or maybe if it gets bad enough, it doesn't need to warm up ...
