Rear struts Help please


Recommended Posts

Posted

Serious cluncking from my rear left hand strutt on my Bug eye STi. Whats the best solution? Standard product from Subaru ( quoted £660 to fit a pair of rear strutts) or an upgrade or even a repair kit(if such a thing exists). Please excuse my ignorance on this subject as never thought Id need to know anything about the suspension on a Sti as I (stupidly) thought they were well sorted.

Cheers John

My 55 plate wrx had this prob lem dealer changed them out under warrenty. Take it since yours i a lil older that it don`t have the extended warrenty therefore best bet is 2 new shocks on the rear think KYB are a popular choice for a similar shock to the stock stuff. other option is spend a bit and get a full set up done and have some fun or phone japperformanceparts they will sort you out with some standard stuff am sure. One other option is there is a guy on scoobynet selling his sti suspension looking for 300-350 i think and the back shocks are only 100 miles old as subaru replaced them that may be the cheapest option. You also have a pm bud as i myself may be able to help you. Cheers Greig
