05 sti's have a problem with the struts, after about 30k miles, they go out and they start clunking. you'll notice the clunk when taking off from a stop, or when going slow over bumpy road. If your car is under warranty you can put it back to stock and have the dealer fix it for free, otherwise...it's time to get some coilovers.

 

hmmm ima prolly take it to gst and have tommy go on a test drive with me and see what he says.

 

Listen you ungrateful *****. You came on here asking for help. I told you I can point you to what I will bet is the problem. If not then at least I tried to help you. And doesnt cost you anything but 30 seconds of your time to look at it.

Funny that both of you have this happen after you both had things done to your car that require the vehicle being lifted. In the picture I have included for others to use for reference its at center...metal bracket mounted to outrigger suspended from each other with a bushing...the metal bracket gets the edge bent when lifted by that point and it taps on the outrigger especially on decel and causes a tapping sound...at this point I could care less if you ever get your crap fixed.

 

lols....opps haha i quoted the wrong box lols. i meant to quote the street racing comment. sorry about that.

 

Copy that....use the information and picture to your advantage and try to rule this out as a possibility.

 

i was wondering what shazam321 was talking about. lols. sorry ssfwrx

 

i still don't understand the picture, like which metal is touching which one? Is it possible to circle the part you talking about on paint or something lol sorry haha

 

I circled the area for you..i understand the mistake and accept the apology...i was like man this guy has some audacity!

 

lol guys


see post #2 and then check out the other stuff

 

i'll be checking everything over on wednesday morning.

 

are you on lowering springs?

05 STi + lowering springs = INFAMOUS STRUT CLUNK!

Do a search for the strut clunk on i-club, you'll find all the threads about it, included my 05 STi and my girls 05 STi

 

update?

 

i checked the bracket and nothings touching...I also checked where the driveshaft connects to the rear diff and theres no play. Must be the infamous strut clunk....i'll prolly order some full coilovers next month and we'll see if that solves it..Btw i noticed the driveshaft was 2 piece? Is the middle part of the driveshaft suppose to move a bit or is it suppose to be rock solid.

 

ohhh....who called it...
