hi think im in the right section

i have a 2005 wrx turbo blob eye 65k on clock
I am getting a knocking sound from the rear passenger sound like its right on wheel been getting louder when i go over bumps etc
seemed when i was going low speed turning it went on drivers side rear aswell abit no where near as bad as passenger side any ideas

exhaust does not seem to be loose at all either

brakes? when i get to 80+ on a bad road and have to brake quite hard it shakes wheel now i heard this could be because breaks need upgrading or replacing?
thanks

i got subaru to have a look which cost 45 quid but it turns out they never checked it just engine right helpful that was

also when i slow down say to park i can feel the rear brakes are not like working at the same time like one then over kind of thing

they suffer from shock knock on the rear, common thing

It could be the front/rear drop links I recently replaced mine made a massive difference, brake discs could be on their way out might be worth replacing.

Heraz

big job? strut out?

pflowers

Thought that was just the sti?

Heraz

anyone recommend someone to look at it lancashire based near burnley?

Mackster

Sounds like the same as most. If you only really notice on a slow bumpy road or when parking ect it Could be rear shocks knocking. Also the wobble from braking could be due to worn or warped discs. Which is what both my problems where after having the same as you describe on my sti

Heraz

i can notice now all time driving at all speeds louder at lower speed

2005 onwards WRX blob and hawk have the inverted rear shocks, mine lasted 55,000 miles before they started.

Mackster

Does it feels like the car drops from the rear when pulling away/reversing

Heraz

no not really i can revrese out my drive nice smooth soon as set of little knocking then worse bumps get louder it knocks

Heraz

how would i tell if its shocks knocking and catching?

Mine has started doing this, but no knocking

My wrx blob started knocking like this, replaced the struts with coilovers and the knocking is no more.

Mackster

Does sound like the rear shocks to me but could not be 100%. Only due to previous experience

Heraz

how much to replace rear shocks?

Depends if you could do it yourself! If a garage had to do it it may cost you a lot.

Mackster

From Subaru probably £500 for the rears maybe more. Either strip them and re-grease them or get a set of coilovers and never have the knock again!

Heraz

also to add i dont know if its anything to do with it my brake fluid looks like its not full maybe leaking?

Lee225

iTrader: (1)

Top fluid up and see if I level drops, then you'll be able to tell if you've got a leak! Wouldn't think low brake fluid would cause a knocking noise.....

Heraz

i have done suspension strut on a van haha but dont think i could do it on scooby

Mackster

Get it to a Subaru specialist and get them to check it over. Does sound like you could have warped discs tho

Mine does this. Seems to drop at the rear when I stop instead if pulling away...

Mackster

It's not actually that difficult. There is a thread somewhere on here of a step by step guide

Heraz

how do i tell if they are warped is it still ok to drive like this gotta do alot of miles to work and that

Mackster

Could be your rear shocks sticking due to the rubbish grease they used from the factory. Mine done this but was also knocking

Mackster

Couldn't tell you how to check them. All I know is mine done the same when braking at a higher speed. Was told by a mechanic that the discs where warped so changed them and now it's fine

Easy way to check if its the shocks, squirt wd40 where the damper and outer casing meet this should stop the knocking short term a few days. When the knocking returns you'll know.

Quite an easy job to change. Also have a look at drop links and ARB bushes
