Default I think I have the same problem

I have not noticed any clunking when driving normally, but have had a similar problem for a few years now.

The clunking comes on only after a long drive and it only happens when I drive on full lock. It is at it's worst when I reverse on full lock.

I have had this checked by four different subaru dealers over the past three years and each has assured me that it is nothing more than a worn anti roll bar link and that it is nothing to worry about.

However, I have replaced both link rods and am still having the same problem.

Any advice would be grately appreciated.

Apologies for hijacking your thread if this is a different problem to yours, but at least it'll get it back to the top of the page and hopefully someone will be able to help us both.

I get this on a MY01 WRX, been check out by subaru and by me.

Only happens at low speed and seems more apparent from the rear, I've out it down to the car being dropped by about 50mm by the previous owner.

Struts braces have had no effect either good or bad.

Can't say it's worrying me yet
