Knocking Suspension Again but ....
I've had Eibach springs fitted and wondered if the knocking noise is caused by the changes made with the springs (MY06 Wagon) or I'm in the middle of yet another Faulty Subaru strut problem.
Think my Warranty will be goosed anyway with the springs changed ?
anyone on the same setup ?

Your warranty should be fine as Subaru dealers sell Eibach springs badged as Prodrive, and under the rules defined by the EU you must use parts of equal or higher quality than those originally fitted. If they are prepared to sell Eibachs under the premise of them being an upgrade, or better, then your Eibachs must ergo be as good if not better than the OE springs.

I had a slight knocking but just at slow speeds in a car park turning left but can live with it for the smiles it gives me on the twistys
They really do transform the handling when you have the Geometry done and poly bushes /droplinks
thanks to AS performance for that little <adjustment >

Thanks for the info guys
well I'm a little happier now most of you think the Warranty will be ok. I'll mention the expanding foam problem/fix to them too and see what they say.

New-age Scoobs are famous for top-mounts going, mostly on STi's but I would think they're probably the same item that gets a bit more abuse in STi's due to the stiffer struts.

It seems they squirt some expanding foam filler in there somewhere (I know this because some was stuck to my rear bumper ) and this stops some kind of flexing therefore stops the noise .If your dealer doesn't know of this fix get them to call Days of Chelmsford and find out about it
