Thumbs down sti rear suspension

my 03 plate sti rear suspension has once again started clunking. it has had a total of 4 nearside replacements (3 under warranty) & 3 offside replacements.
subaru went 50/50 on the last replacement as it was only just out of warranty
i am totally pi**ed off with this - has anyone got any recommendations for a non subaru replacement set up?

cheers

i think its is something to do with the shocker, this seems to be a common problem with this type. fooking annoying whatever it is.

Agree with Alan. Mine are almost totally silent, and I'm not sure if it is something simply in the boot moving about over a sleeping policeman bump.
It never does it at speed no matter what the surface, only rapid movement of the NSR.

You are not alone. Just been pm'd about the same thing!

You can get the rears stripped down and re-built with a fix that works.
It's the top bush that wears out due to lack of lube.
