Hi everyone,
Had this annoying noise in my 2005 WRX rear suspension, just replaced OEM shocks with Tein Superstreet coilovers, the knocking noise have dissapeared. Now I have even worse squeeking when going smallest smalest bumps. Has anyone had similar experience, and know where to look for the problem ?

 

Is there anything fouling the new suspension? Could be worth checking the bushes on the rear too as it could be these.

Can you replicate the noise without driving?

 

It's deffo not the Tein suspension, I had the noise before, but knocking shoks were louder than that
I have taken rear seats out and it looks like sound is coming from the boot, but it's completelly empty so ir means it's soemewhere underneath... I will try to replicate noise without driving...
In case it's the bushes, there's sooo many, how would I know which ones to replace ?

 

Would have to get under the car and test the bushes with a pry bar to see which have excess movement. It could be one is a little dry so lubricating it if it is not worn will help

 

excellent
Would you know how many is there to test ? to make sure I won't miss anything ?
cheers

 

From memory there is about 16 I think.

 

Ok, thanks

 

White lithium grease will quieten it down nicely
