Default SUSPENSION KLUNK

Morning, I have a 2003 wrx- standard setup. I have started to notice a klunking sound (technical term !!) from my passenger front suspension. Only seems to happen on slow driving like in car parks etc. doesnt seem to happen when on open road and doesnt appear going over speed bumps .

Any ideas - Thanks Adrian

I also have a 2003 WRX with a clunk from passenger side front suspension, mine has STI springs on. Mine has only done 24000 miles, but I think it means the shock is knackered.

Yeah, your struts are knackered. I've a 53 plate STI and the second set are now gone too! You'd think that Subaru would have sorted the whole thing out!

Car still under warranty?

Check the anti roll bar link nuts are tight before forking out for new suspension.
