some can be serviced/repaired if wanting to save a few £££s i would advise against buying salvage replacments unless they come with warranty/guarantee as they could end up being the same even worse

My 05 sti started doing it back in november, i jacked it up got my fingers in between the coils of the spring & pushed up the gaitor that covers the shock shafts & then coated the shock shafts with spray on white lithium grease, hey presto i have not heard it since, i know its only a tempory thing but its worked for five months now.
