Knocking Noise
 

I've had my scooby for a couple of weeks now. I've just started to hear like a slight knocking noise from the rear. It's not continous or loud and only seems to do it when I've had car running for a while.

Car is going into garage very shortly and I've made them aware of this. Just wondered if you might hav any clues. Only thing I can think of is rear bushes or something to to do with rear diff (hope not)

i had the same problem 06 sti and they changed the rear struts but its still there,tok it back and they couldnt find anything wrong but said it could just be the diff as they can make a few odd noises.Although the knock is by no means loud it is a bit annoying and is very intermittant

The classic strut issues will rear their head regardless of whether the car is cold or not.

Other than the diff it could be the exhaust system which will extend when warm and possible knock:wonder:

Yep it's intermitant. I guess if it was rear dear the noise would be more well there.

What year and Model is it M8

i have this problem with my 04 sti type uk with my car i took it in to my local deal he said its rear struts so im having it fixed next wednesday i let you no if it is that

does the knock happen when you apply let go off the brakes ?

It is a my97 STI V4 at the moment i only notice it when I'm pulling away or manouvering the vehicle when parking. I don't really notice the noise when braking.
