very slight rattle coming from rear right corner of my 2006 STI
 

heard it for about 2 weeks now.. had prodrive springs fitted about 2 months ago... but this last 2 weeks theres been a very slight rattle coming from the rear right, anyone know what this is? i've had a mechanic have a look around the wheel but he cant see anything, we even removed the rear seats to check the top nut wasnt loose but it was tight.. :confused:

Fooked strut. They are well known for it and last about 2hrs from new.

Have you fitted neon lights to the underside of the car ? If so maybe one of them has come loose and is rattling about.

probably a strut as already said. i had the noise on and off , had it checked when i had a service on tuesday and 2 new rear struts being done under w/tee. mines an 06 as well

hard to describe, but does it sound like it's inside or outside?

there's a well known problem rattle with the rear window, some are a slight noise, others(like mine:mad: ) are quite loud.

there is a strut issue aswell, but my money would be on the window.

here's a good thread https://www.scoobynet.com/scoobynet-...g-me-nuts.html

im pretty sure its not the rear window.. definetely seems to be comeing from the wheel area.... whats the dangers of running around on a "fooked strut"?

Please grow up.

You grow up or jogg on which ever is easiest. If i want your opinion i will give you a shout.

possible problems you may have buddy

1-struts failed,i am on my third set of rears(2007 sti)

2-rear window,the white plastic mounting clips squeek like a mo fo on the newage cars,easily solved by removing them

3-Is the rear seat fitted correctly ? after replacing the struts,the dealers never seem to re-fit the seats correctly and always miss one of the mounting points along the top edge.

4-the electric arial unit behind the rear passenger side quarter panel,this sometimes wear loose,simple screwdriver fix

All of the above i have had,but now sorted

Next im moving onto the front of the car,with a squeeky driver door tweeter and the God dam annoying rattle coming from the steering rack when cornering over un-even ground :mad:

marcus

im pretty sure its the strut now... thanks for everyones input.. whats the dangers of running around on a ****ed strut? ... its not that loud a rattle and sometimes i never notice it.. especially now i have a TSL exhaust on it.
