Me and my noises i find one a month my52 wrx has nocking noise from rear left of car over small bumps but worse around corners with small bumps, checked exhuast (scoobysport, fitted it 1 month ago - gave a bit of a shake seems sturdy enough and hangers seem ok) checked usuals like spare wheel, jack, emptied everything out of car. I have had no incidents with pot holes and have driven rather calm the past few days when it has gradually got more noticable will eventually go down the warrenty route but wanted to make sure it isnt the exhuast as this is obviously not covered by subaru warrenty

have i missed something simple (not much mechanical knowledge at all)

any help much appreciated

Have a look at your shock top mounts. If the rubber is torn, you may be getting some metal-metal contact

 

either that or you have a dodgy strut. I've had one replaced, and the other has failed - awaiting warranty replacement.

 

Sounds to me like it is the bushes in the C shaped link bar that connects the rear anti-roll bar to the suspension link. You have two choices here..one is to pay £120 approx from the main dealer for a pair or go to someone like TSL and pay about £60-£70 for some alluminium ones with proper bushes in....good luck..It worked on mine although I pad dealer prices..when will I learn..

 

thanks most helpful booked in monday
