Default STi V7 Suspension

I've had this problem since I bought the car and never found the fault.

What happening is the car suspension is knocking its **** off but only at slow speeds. Sometimes it feels like something is seriously loose and about to fall off but everytime I jack the car up and check all the ball joints and bush's, cant get a millimeter of play on any of them

I do read that the STi struts are trouble some but this feels a bit more than struts but I dont know so any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi Again to Northern Nick !

It's my rear struts that do it on mine....

A long established weakness on all new-age cars.

All your joints will be fine.

P.S. Some say spray on grease will "CURE" it

Save up for some more, I am

Thanks for the offer but mine will be ok till I can afford some KYB adjustables from scoobyclinic.

Sorry about the delay, been asleep this week !

Shhh !

Don't tell anyone..... it's secret. But Tein Type Flex Mono with EDFC is my current choice

The only condition is, I want AST fast road spring rates front and rear....

The thinking is soft for pottling to work, medium for fun, and max. for trackday use.... eventually.

Dunx

P.S. Credit card plus 0% transfer me thinks.... OW !
