Hi Guys and Girlies,

by the sounds of it they are needing stripped, cleaned and re greased, there is a thread on here how to do it and how to install a grease nipple, i used wheel bearing grease and so far have heard nothing

i was told they were screwed, but i did find it hard to believe so i thought i would pose the question. will i be needing new shocks in the long run or it just a oiling problem?

is it a knock or a squeak? they could be done strip them off car and have a look

well basically my local "Subaru specialists" told that a knocking noise i had was coming from front top mounts. i wanted to lower my car also , so i brought 4 shocks from here off a 06 car that had done low mileage below 40k i believe with top mounts, guy fitted them i still had noise at the front, so i took it to another scooby guy quite a known one in Loughborough, they first thought it was suspension i explained the above and they changed the front drop links and it was sweet no noise from the front but the bang is making a knocking noise.. if you drive straight and streer left and right you can hear "it" knocking..

I've got the same problem at the moment, knocking coming from the rear. On smooth roads it doesn't knock however driving over small pot holes etc the rear knocks.

I have Tein Coilovers all round.

I have tein springs but standard stocks.. only got the springs not to long ago with shocks (used ones as stated above, only shocks used) if i had known i would of just got a coilover kit oh well. i would like to hope your shock is not screw and its maybe a top mount..? but i am getting my rear shocks changed on the 11th i can let you know if it fixes the problem?
