03 sti seems to be from shock but cant be sure when jumping up and down on the rear door sill i can feel the clunk on my hand when im holding the rear top of wing just cant pin point from where its coming from?

 

thats your wallet mate

 

Hi, That noise that you have is the rear shocks, it;s extremely common on the new age STI, mine dose the same and so do others that I know, It can be cured at some expense, either a shock strip down/rebuild or replace them with new ones. Most guys go for coilovers as an alternative as they have loads of adjustment etc.

 

is it common with pro drive shocks ?

 

less time on s/n more time sorting your car you tired bestard three days of sat on your **** do some work on your car bitch

 

 

My 53 Sti had the knocking too only really noticed it setting off and slowly driving on rough roads. It still passed its mot. I took them off this weekend and stripped them, cleared out the old grease and re greased them following the guide on scoobypedia. The car sounds great now and the clunk/knock has gone. Not sure on long term success yet.

Car still feels kangaroo like when coming to a stop but all shocks seem OK and it passed its mot!?
