Rear shocks maybe?Can anybody describe the noises or symptoms of a knackered rear near side shock?

Me too, nearside rear clonks over sharp bumps and also when pulling away forwards or backwards. I'm saving up for the widely acclaimed BC Coilovers, but a pair of standard rear shocks can be had for less than £300.
There are no stupid questions, only stupid people.
It starts as a rattle that gets louder and turns into a clunking then a knocking then a bumping and eventually you learn to turn up the stereo and ignore it. My car has had 3 sets of oem subaru struts - 2 under warranty, now ive got bc coilovers installed and had no knocking since.
GPlus 1 for bc's
Oem struts are garbage I'd of rather replaced oem for oem but deep down I'd now the knocking would return, Bc offer a close ride to Standered
Knock knock....(excuse the pun)
Who's there.... Your local Subaru dealer, waiting to do you in the ring peice for two rear shocks:-) Follow the DIY thread if it's your shocks mate "you can do it if you special brew it!!"
I've not spotted a DIY shock thread. Will have a look that, good results?
Do I need any parts? Cheers Paul
Its a sticky in the tech help section.Struts Overhaul
Beat me to it Carl, can't beat your write up in my opinion.
Many thanks for your help guys!!
Will speak to my mechanic mate. Need to decide do I do both sides and do I powdercoat mine too, I do work at a manufacturing company where we can powdercoat, and actually machine some components for prodrive direct, though sadly nothing for imprezas!!! Cheers, Paul
