I have a couple of noises going on that only somewhat concern me. I know it's impossible to diagnose over the internet, but some ideas would be nice. I have: 2002 WRX Wagon 4EAT Rota 17" Tarmac IIs Hankook z212s KYB AGX's Prodrive Springs Group N hats (Front/Rear) Perrin Endlinks/Sways (22mm)/PSRS Rear Camber Bolts My front passenger side brake slide pin is stuck as well, but I am replacing that today or tomorrow. In January, I had this stuff installed. Now, I have a couple noises that are perplexing. Car in park. I shift into reverse, I hear a little "tink" noise, I push on the gas a little, I hear a knock from about the same spot. Sounds like tranny/differential. I have some clunking in the back. I figure it may be the sway bar clunking around since my car was lowered as well, and I'm still looking to get an alignment. Yes, I know...I'm busy! But, when I had the sway on before the springs and struts went on, it wasn't clunking. Maybe it just needs to be retorqued. Also, from a stop, I push the gas, and I feel a little sticking. Possibly could be just the brake slide pin that I discussed earlier, but it feels like a shift in something. Maybe a strut...I don't know, but something is definitely shifting or sticking. I'm sure I could come up with other stupid noises but I can't think of them now. I know that our scooby's make noises and that's just the nature of the beast, but I think that some of them could be fixed. LMK if you have any advice, Thanks, - Justin K.
dude, you have more "got another noise and this CEL" threads than anyone here, lol. I know how it feels tho, i had that same problem with my wrx.
these have been bothering me for a while now. I just don't have the time to get under there and tinker around these days! Oh yeah, if it matters, I have a pro-torque high stall torque converter and an IPT Modified Valvebody.
so its an auto? every auto wrx ive driven has a "tink" when giving it gas after putting it into a certain gear. even new ones.
yeah, its a 4EAT. The gear tink is normal as far as I know, but it's the little clunk once I start to back up that concerns me. Well, it's more like a little knock. Maybe it is normal... I do have a girlfriend...but I haven't always had one "I'm in a band..."
