Clunking in the rear

I don't see any tears, or grease on the boot, I'm pretty sure its coming from the left rear. I checked to see if there was any play in the tires, so I'm sure its not a bearing.

How typical is it for a shaft to go bad? I found a remanufactured for $125, what else could it be??

When I have it jacked up and spin the rear tires, I can't get it to make the noise, its usually when I'm slowing down to a stop or if I am going over a bump in the road really slow it clunks.

Anyone have a shop that we could lift it up and check it out?? :biggrin:

 

Strut mounts dude, pretty much for sure

 

yep. sti or wrx? my sti has 2 bad ones right now damn you subaru.

off topic, when they change out 06 and 04 sti struts that are known to go bad do they put better redesigned ones in?

 

02 wrx

You think so? I mean I can hear it sometimes when I'm cruising at 65mph and I can hear a distinct clunk

Also, how would I check to see if that was the problem

 

anyone? How to check and see if thats really the cause?

 

also check the endlinks....

 

Stock struts

So when I lift up the car on the left rear side just using my hands in the wheel well and push back down to compress the strut/spring, I can hear it making the clunking noise, just a lot quieter.

 

mounts sound about right. PM me if you want to swing by, I'll check it out for you

 

I think I am haveing the same problem. I am guessing the time to replace them would be when I do my stuts? If so what ones should I get and where should I get them? I have prodrive springs and I am going to order KYB AGX struts...

 

Thats what I'm thinking I'm going to do as well, just do as much as you can at once.

 

you could always upgrade to STi Group N strut mounts. I've seen them go for 220-250 for all four. Much stiffer than our wrx mounts that flex like crazy

 

Where can I find said mounts?
