Hi
My 05 wagon has started making a knocking noise, seems to come from the front passenger side area. I mostly notice it a low speeds & when coming to a stop. There is no vibrations through the steering wheel or brake pedal, & the car still drives ok. I guess there could be a number of things but has anyone any suggestions to what it might be?

Any suggestions welcome

Cheers

Matt

Your WRX has Inverted Strut suspension which is prone to failure and knocking does it stick or knock when static while giving it some bounce ?

I think I've an inkling it might just be the Shock Absorber as well........ join the club!

Cant seem to replicate the noise whilst car is stationary & giving it some bounce.

Its going into the garage tomorrow for a diagnosis (hopefully)

Drop link broken or loose on the connection the the front ARB.
If a ball jointed drop link remove and check for free play / knotchyness

sounds familiar to what i had on my old classic and it turned out to be wheel hub

From what ive heard...
Jack the front up and attempt to wiggle the wheel with your hands at 12-6 oclock positions 3-9 and so on if you have play igs possibly the wheel bearing... Or do the wheel nuts up lol... Just my 2p worth
