Hi
I have a rattle on my 2003 sti. I have changed out the rear struts and over hauled them with the grease nipples. How ever when you take your foot of the gass a nasty rattle comes from the driver side rear. I have taken out the rear seats and the noise comes from under the floor pan. My guess is the rear tie bar bush or the cross member mount next to it. But if I put a pry bar on them they do not seem to be metal to metal.

any ideas on how to be sure where the noise is coming from

cheers chaps

 

try the drop links fella, the bushes fail but as you have an sti the top mounts are a common failing too
