I've got a couple issues with mine that my research hasn't turned up much info on. It's an '02 Outback wagon with the standard 2.5L flat-4 and the auto tranny.

The car has a vibration on acceleration between 20 and 30mph, and again (although not as noticeable) around 55-60mph. It isn't RPM related, and it doesn't do it if I put in the FWD fuse (locks the car in front drive), or if I'm coasting, so I'm thinking it may be the CV axles. I can feel it a little in the wheel, but mostly in my feet. It doesn't seem to be gear-dependent, and it doesn't vibrate when coasting or engine braking down a hill.

I'm also getting a subtle random chirping noise, also on acceleration. I thought it might be the belts but I drove the car around without them (water pump is on the timing belt) and it didn't go away. It doesn't do it when the engine is revved in neutral, and I didn't notice it when loading the engine/tranny while on the brake. Wonder if they're related?
