Bug eye STI rear shocks

[MrDoo]

I have just had my  Bug eye STI shocks recall done at my local Subaru garage and looks like only one has been replaced has anyone had their shocks replaced by subaru and if so were both or only one replaced.

My Blobeye had them both replaced[]

Is this a general recall on the Bug Eye STI ? I have one and was not aware there was a problem with the rear shocks.

I developed a very slight clunk at about 5mph in the back somewhere

Took it down to Kev and i was told what it was b4 it went on the ramp.

So they did both for me, Do not think there is a general Recall though, I may be wrong

I ve had both of munes done before but was 1 at a time.

I've had both my rears done twice under warranty due to clunking noises. My car is not longer under warranty, so may not be included on their recall list any more ?

I have had both rear shocks changed aswell due to clunking at low speeds, the dealer would only change one at a time first was osr 2000 miles and then nsr 12000. dealer point blankly refused to change both at once and now nsf has gone common problem  with newage car. coilovers are the way forward!!

My rear nearside is knocking. Car's booked in for 20,000 mile sevice next week & mentioned it to them while on the phone, they said they'd have a look when it's in & prob swap both the rear struts.

Does anyone know for sure whether there is a Subaru recall on these parts? As both mine are fooked, and its gonna cost £400 for new ones. :-(

I dont think there is am afraid, but i can find out tomorrow for sure for you []

[slo2]

mine are ok but the cars 4 uear old and done 70k so a full recall would be a great thing.

Just had the bolts on the oil cooler( I think) done under warranty! Recall letter from subaru and a follow up letter 6 months later!

[bigal024]

Cheers Craig, Much appreciated.

I don't think this is a recall on these, but I think there are some revised parts available which will perhaps cure the problem once and for all.

Just had a phone call from the dealer. They are going to replace them under warranty! Well happy to say the least!

[scooby222]

guess it is the season of goodwill after all Al! while theyve got them off anyway get a set of springs on it- youl save on the rear labour anyway!

[bigal024]

its got the prodrive springs dave. Or it bloody should do.

[scooby222]

didnt realise that [:$] ive just got them fitted and it made a big difference for the better

[bigal024]

Do you ever sleep?? Your worse than me! Getting them fitted next week. + 50k service. + MOT. So hopefully she'll be running sweet as, after xmas.
