Hello chaps

Hope you are well?

just over 2 months ago I purchased my first scoob, 55 Hawk WRX STI ... after the first service with Rich @ FB we discovered the rear shocks had given up, apparently this is a known issue so we opted for coil over’s, I purchased BC racing BR series for about £800 and then paid Rich labour and £120 to have the car laser aligned, after everything was sorted I ended up paying out about £1100, anyway to cut a long story short I was driving back from Watford on Saturday and the front left strut started making an awful knocking sound, I managed to drive the car back slowly and have a look, there is nothing loose ... I phoned Rich @ FB and he said it sounds like a faulty damper in the strut

My question is if this is the case, should BC replace the strut and pay for labour and re alignment? I’m also looking at having to pay to have the car put on a pickup and delivered to FB ... even more money

Opinions please

Are you sure its the strut and not the front droplinks?

Hey

thanks for the reply dude, I have no idea what it is but Rich @ FB got me to check the top nut and make sure everything was solid and it was, where would I check the droplinks?

cheers

It connects the anti roll bar to to the lower arm. Have a look under the car on the inside of the wheel. Probably be standard black colour and look like this http://www.subaru4you.co.uk/images/p...ineklc30on.jpg

Pull on the anti roll bar and see if there is any play in the droplink

the BCs come with a 2 year warranty , if it is faulty they will send a new one. Not sure on the labour.

Are you sure it's not just the pillow ball top mounts knocking? If so this isn't really a problem as such, annoying yes but won't cause any damage. BC do rubber top mounts for them now to stop the knocking. Mine do it mostly from the rears but every now and then from the fronts, hardly notice it now tbh. A possibility anyway.

Thanks for the info dude!! The picture you linked me doesn't work though, do you have another?
