problem #1

Dec 242004

Impreza 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 3,000 miles
After ~3,000 miles on my 05 Impreza WRX sti a clunking noise appeared in the rear driver side suspension assembly. I do not know if this is potentially hazardous, but it definitely is an annoyance. The dealer diagnosed it as a misaligned spring and corrected the problem for 3 days, but then it reappeared. Many other owners I've spoken to have the same problem and it's supposedly a mfr defect with the strut assembly.
