MY03 sti knocking noise....
Is back! Went back to subaru a couple of weeks ago to have everything checked out, said they couldn't find the problem. I mentioned that i thought it was the rear shocks which they checked and said they couldn't find any fault, they had taken the car for a 5 mile test run to see if they could hear the knocking but it didn't happen. When i picked my car up they said when the noise occurs again swing by the garage and they would come out for a drive to have a listen.
So i had a drive around but nothing happened, and i hadn't heard it since... until today! Does the noise come and go if it is the common shock problem? Anything i can do to check whether or not it is the shocks?
Cheers.
David.

When I had mine last year it was doing exactly the same thing. Top mounts / struts if I remember.
There was a Subaru technical bulletin that was made available to them, so they can find out exactly what to do to sort it if you make enough noise.
I did and didn't have a reoccurrance.
Good luck mate, just push them!
