    2006 wrx wagon (Saabaru version). On Raceland coil overs, everything else stock suspension wise as far as I know. Looking for someone to diagnose an odd noise and do suspension work based on recommendations. 75k miles, excellent condition Southern car. Makes a snapping (like a large rubber band) noise about 5 times when turning lock to lock when not moving. You can feel it through the steering wheel.
    After the noise I’d like to add some support to the coils. I’m thinking the full front and rear Whiteline kit.

    I’m looking to have any loose/warn items replaced to just tighten up the car.
    I’m ok as an errand man, but I’m 99% incapable of doing work myself. I’m happy to pay cash and help with what I can, trying to avoid $100+ hour labor costs. Thank you for your help and knowledge!!!

    I know they have a terrible reputation. They came with the car, so that’s what I’ve got.

    Sounds like it may be time to acquire some new struts and RCE lowering springs. ;)

    Are RCE rated better than others? I show they are discontinued for the wagon :(. Suspension has so many choices/options!

    I know Swift makes some wagon specific springs. Pretty tame amount of drop as well.
