The service manager is an STI guy and he said the nuts Subaru uses are just way too soft, so once you start making power -or abusing the car, they'll bend and make noise.
My suggestion is to take it in to the dealer, tell them it's the nut, it's a known issue and it is covered under the power-train warranty.

Thanks for the reply. I will try a new nut. I want to avoid the dealer if possible.
