Had the same problem on 02 STI. Left front. Dealer claimed it's very unusual.

very strange would like to think its not me though going to take it in to dealers start of week no doubt they will blame me

Just a word of caution.

I had the same noise on my UK00 after 82k. A mate and I thought wheel bearing so I asked my dealer to check. They did a very thorough job, full examination on the ramp, found nothing. So we went for a test drive, also inconclusive. They said nothing wrong.

The only clue I got was it can't be the CV joints as they make a rythmic clicking/drumming sound. The noise got worse, although nobody but me could really notice it. Since it couldn't be CV joints I thought, I had the bearing changed at the next service. About £300, and it made no bloody difference

The noise is getting louder now, and sure enough there's a rythmic knocking/drumming sound amongst the grinding noises so I reckon it must be CV joints after all. Taking it to dealer next week.

Good luck,

Richard.

Garage finally sorted it. It was not a wheel bearing, or a cv joint. So what was it then?

It was my Scoobysport headers drumming on the sub-frame as the engine moved on its mounts! As soon as the undertray came off, it was obvious to all but a lot of time and money wasted
