STI rear struts
Got the dreaded knock again on my third set of shocks/struts.
Have read about regreasing of the top bush inside the strut. Does anyone have a procedure on how to do this on the std strut thanks |
hope this helps

Try looking at the link above and see if this help you mate, I have tried regreasing mine but did not help i think that they had got to bad before i did something about it. Hope it works for you!! how many miles you getting out of your struts before they start knocking again??? |
Thanks for the link..........interesting...... may well give it a go, it seems simple enough.
I got the car @ 27k and it was knocking replaced under warranty @ 37k knocking again replaced under warranty Now knocking again @ 41k thinking about replacing the whole lot, but dont realy know what to go for Coilovers or springs & struts. |
Wow thats really bad why do you think it keeps doing it. Mine are knocking now at 17k and having new struts fitted on wed!
Can you do anything to stop it or do you have to just keep changing struts?? |

The ride height looks lower and the grip levels already, without pushing is good. I don't find the ride as harsh or clattery as the standard struts & PD springs either. All round winner (except the cost :freak3: ) |
how expensive were they??
the shocks on my sti are red and by the sounds of things they should not be this colour, but the bloo#dy things are knocking so guess they are no better any way!!!! |

I dont understand why they never sorted the problem, it would still be an issue if you replaced like for like...12 months+ down the road you would have to fork out £200 a corner for new ones that will go on you again. |
The garage quoted £300 a corner to replace, now out of warranty. So the ASTs was a no brainer.

and the difference is like night and day.

I think mine are on 4 front, 6 rear. It's whatever PS set them to on fitting. I'm looking forward to some spirited driving, to see what the grip and balance is like on the car now, especially as the front arb has been fitted. |
i was using 8 front 6 rear for road, but been experimenting as found this a touch hard for road use.
what springs rates you running? |
