My 2005 2.0 wrx has started a bang/thud noise when going over speed bumps. Have checked under for anything loose, worn bushes etc, all seems good. Cars only done 53k miles, bought it new. Drives as new apart from this banging, anybody know what i should look for? Maybe the coil overs, are these known to do this?
Thanks anybody,
Steve.

 

Checked your engine mountings?

 

I haven t, but i will, do these often fail? Are they just a normal rubber sandwich type mount
and are they easy to see and replace?
Thanks,
Steve.

 

Also under the intercooler, there is the pitch mount. Mine came loose once and caused a bang.

 

shocks more than likely..known fault on em...my rears have gone recently

 

Thanks Chris i ll check the intercooler. And lee, if this is a known fault, is it usually front or rear shocks, and how to check them? Nothing seems LOOSE and its just recently passed mot with no probs. After factory warranty ran out, i started my own service and maintenance and found some of the stuff the subaru dealer did was dire. Glad i do my own now!
Thanks,
Steve.
