2007 Hawkeye STI Noise from Rear End
Hi,
I've just bought a 2007 Hawkeye STI and when driving back from picking it up i've noticed a noise at low speed from the back end in both forward and reverse it sound like rolling about in the boot. When I got home I emptied the boot took out the spare wheel liners, jack checked everywhere to make sure there was nothing left in there but still making the noise.
I then jacked up the back and and checked both back wheels for noisy bearings or binding brakes but all ok so I'm worried there a problem with the rear diff.
Has anybody experienced this or have any ideas.
Cheers
Scott

Cheers for the quick reply m8
It was still doing it on a virtually smooth road with no vibrations, that what was confusing me.
if it is the strut is there a easy fix or will it need a new strut, and how do you know which strut it is.

There is a quick fix for the strut clunk which is spraying them with grease, should be loads of info on here about it as it's common. I took mine off and fitted grease nipples following a guide I found online.
Is it a noise that is unexpected ? What I mean is it's not something like tyre noise etc. I'm not trying to be funny just it's hard to diagnose over the net.

I know and I appreciate your help, its also quite hard to explain what it sounds like.
I have a can of spray grease I'll give both rear struts a squirt tomorrow and see if it helps.
Thanks again and i'll keep you posted.
