Good video for a common problem with 2015 Forestor that is often misdiagnosed. Subaru placed the AC drain tube over the right side control arm and it prematurely deteriorates the bushing. The problem shows up when accelerating on the highway typically between 50-70 mph as a shudder on smooth roads. It will get worse and begin making noise and shudder at a lower speed. Either replace the worn bushing or the entire control arm assembly (which includes new bushings). Save $500-750 if you DIY fix - buy the LCA assembly online for around $100 and spend 1-3 hours to unbolt the old LCA and bolt in the new one.
Thank you.
