Bought my 1 a few months ago from Subaru Ayr , but noticed a knocking noise from the nearside rear ,, Im taking the car in to the dealers to be checked tomorrow ,
they gave me 1 years warranty , should this be covered by there warranty ,

Genuine Subaru Parts should come with a 3 year warranty unless something has changed?!

Yes, and don't let them try and tell you otherwise!

yes but only on replacement parts from date of purchase as the car will be long past any cover on factory parts..........

Just what I was thinking.
I can't believe a Subaru main dealer would give warranty to cover things like the shockers when THEY KNOW that they're SHOCKING !!!!!
They would know, having driven it and looked to see if the originals were still on it that they WILL FAIL .

Do let us know how you get on.

Even though it a known design fault I think the warranty will cover it. We shall soon see.....

it will be covered. had all 4 done on the rb320 in the past few months ian grieve falkirk.

got the car back today , apparently the Strut wasnt covered but as I only had the car a few months , they didnt charge me ,, well thats what they told me , how can the strut not be covered in a warranty ? , aw well it didnt cost me anything so I cant complain

[Crockel]

Well done, good result!!!! (The strut not being covered sounds a bit like bullsh*t as that is not down to fair wear and tear- but it's academic as you got it sorted).

struts should be replaced in pairs!!!! the warranty company changed one on the rb and after a bit of negotiations subaru changed the other one for free. (on the rears)
the front ones went early on in ownership but they were both gone so no issues with that.
got the new uprated ones now so hopefully no issues as so far none of them have failed on any rb.
i think that they are trying to stop you chasing for 2 by the "not covered shite" as with the subaru warranty it is most definetly covered!!!

Hightower are the shocks a problem on the RB aswell? would have thought they would have sorted that out and learnt from the mistakes of the past!

From other stories I have heard and from speaking to the Subaru garage recently this particular gremlin still continues with the RB320.
