Default Problem with o/s rear when pulling away

I have an 06 WRX 33k on the clock, when I pull away it's like the o/s wheel was stuck on a stone (kinda strange to describe) bit like the wheel was on a plank of wood (wiyhout the clang of driving off it)

any ideas?

probably damper stiction. Does it feel like a scrunch as if rolling off a block of rubber or something/ or does the car feel like it suddenly sits down half an inch when moving slowly.

Used to have this on my P1 and mike Wood of prodrive said that it was the damper rod ovalling over time and sticking a bit. It then suddenly lets go and you get the sitting down/ scrunch sensation . At higher speed /loads it's enough to overcome the friction.

Not dangerous apparently but irritating

yes, does the inch bit when setting off about 1mph and above its ok, sometimes does it when it comes to a stop?

should I book it in?

if it's in warranty - yes. If not, apparently it's not dangerous - I lived with mine for a couple of years, but about to finally sort it - so up to you really.
