Posted this in techincal no advice anyone in hear ?
Since i brought my car i have had a slight knocking from the NSR when going over pot holes or uneven road surface. So far i have changed both rear struts and top mounts, New droplinks, adjusted boot catch and had rear seat out but the f****** noise is still there.
Anyone got any ideas as this is costing me a fortune!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Potentially an MY02 car, but could be later aswell
Common problem on the STI's in my experience - especially on the 02 cars

Presume its out of warranty?
Your best bet really is to contact Subaru UK - it's a known problem.
Unfortunately I had an 02 STI - it has the problem. Struts changed countless times.
Traded it in (still with knocking suspension) for an 05 STI 1.5 years ago.
05 STI did have a problem with the same strut, but its was leaking.
A similar noise has come back again, but still to be identified fully.
Dealer has ordered two replacement struts for me as I understand.
See this thread.

Good luck!
