Take it your warranty's expired Greg? Dealer will replace without quibble if it's within its three years. Even if you're just out, I'd consider giving them a hard time, considering it's such a well-known fault.

i might try charlie at greive prob tell me to poke ti tho lol out of warrenty btw.

Anyone know here to get KYB ultra for an 05 sti? gold shock i think meant to be better but same dampening as standard shocks. greig

I've had two sets changed.. most recent were a warranty job but on my last car i had to pay for them.. Can't remember exactly how much but i got a great price from Charlie, and that's why i started to use Grieves and will continue to.

APPARENTLY there is a temporary fix, and it involves removing the strut and turning part of it 90 degrees.. It could then be ok for a good few thousand miles... (but before anyone comes along and shoots that theory down, it is just what i have been told by a proper reliable source..)

Good luck!
