There is a clunking going on in the back of my car. Fobia and I thought it was the seat because it wasn't put in correctly so he fixeded it. The clunking hasn't stopped and Matt is in Florida. What else could it be? Springs? Struts? It could be a lot... Does the wing make noise? I've never even had a car with a wing before, I can't wait to get it off. Helpz please.
Oi, already having to buy parts before my first payment, lol. Oh the life of owning and STi. >_< I love it.
It occurs when I'm taking the inner roads, I hardly notice it when I'm on the freeway. Mostly over bumpz.
I had the same clunking noise with my previously RS... if I drove into a small crack or pothole on the road, clunking noise became louder..... problem was solve went i went back into my rear strut top hat bolt was actually loose....retighting the bolt and see if that was the problem
what the? I would guess it's definitely in the strut department Bee, I think most people have to replace them about every 20,000 miles.
Ive seen alot of cars clunking and the fix is the sway bar end links(in general not subaru direct). Park the car, Pop the trunk, have someone kneel on the trunk(with the trunk open) and bounce up and down while another person checks around to see if they can hear where its coming from. If you want you can bring it over and I can help you if you want.
Fobia's balls are in Florida right now. She's at 13,500 miles, can't wait till I get out of work she needs me! =[
Struts! Yeah! Mine did that for awhile. Got it underwarrenty my friend. Happen about 1/2 Year after buying the car.
i was thinking that exact same thing. expecially if they're old the rubber bushings can dry up and crack causing them to fall off and then you're left with metal on metal. making a clunk. thats what my old dsm had. my .02
She's Asian. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that she isn't carrying too much junk in her trunk. Asians just don't normally do that.
thread from last week: http://www.mnsubaru.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20933 also plenty to read on nasioc and iwsti.
wow.. thought you meant asians dont do that... was gonan say woooah... ha ha my vote... STI + CLUNKING = STRUT
Bee, if you have to, come over and we'll take your seats out and tighten down your tophats in the rear. I'll be home tomorrow around 4:45-5. We'll also take a look at your rsb mounts to see if that's the deal too. Seriously, I can sometimes do car stuff, sometimes... :laugh:
The water tank for the intercooler is in the trunk, the water has frozen and now it clunks around. It happened to mine, I had to melt it in a heated garage and and pump it out.
It's the strut, dont even waste your time taking stuff apart to tighten it, its a dead strut. Take it to the dealer and see if they will fix it under warrenty, even if your over the miles. This is an EXTREMLY common problem with the early STi's.
Im Almost 90% sure that she told me the first thing she did when she got the car home was remove the water from the tank. So if you could just paypal me the money that would be great
