With all the posts about the knocking on the rear shock absorbers on the Blobeye STI's..........

I have had mine for 2years 2 months and it has had 3 replacements and the one that is fitted now if fooked now. The previous owner may have had some relaced too????

Why is it the rear nearside that is the worst?

Why is it just on the Blobeye?

Why do they keep replacing the duff shocks with more duff shock?

Does replacing with aftermarket ones sort it? or ones that are non STI?

Answers greatly recieved

 

i got the my05 sti and did exactly the same, instead of messing around with replacement shocks i opted 2 spend a lil more and went 4 the ast adjustables.. no complaints and alot more fun

 

bttt

 

come on geezers there must be someone that can comment on this or is it just old hat

 

Are Teins any good? most importantly do the knock?
