I hope everyone is having a meaningful Memorial Day!
I’ve been working on my daughters 06 Subaru AWD Forester and can’t find the source of a growling road noise. It has about 165k miles.
The noise sounds like a bad tire that’s about half scalloped pretty bad on half the tire - in other words half rumbly and half smooth. It is very noticeable at parking lot speed all the way up to 55. You can even feel it in the steering wheel slightly.
It does it in neutral or under power - but is quieter when veering to the left than right while going down the road. The tires are all good with no bent wheels or anything like that. There are no flat spots or scalloped edges or anything. All about 1/2 to 2/3 tread left.
I thought I had a bad wheel bearing (one wheel was draggy while jacked up), but found a stuck brake caliper piston. I got it freed up - and that wheel no longer drags but it didn’t affect the noise. The driveline u-joints also feel fine and are not heating or anything...
Does anyone have any suggestions on what to look for?? The cv joints also feel normal with no torn boots or anything...

"Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor." Elliott said while this
