....04 STi Struts. Anyone have a set of low mileage take-offs they don't need?

 

Dan

Have yours gone bad already?

 

Not sure, I'm getting a noise from the left/rear of the car. A bad strut is the only thing I think it could be....I've checked everything else.

 

I think they're have been more than a few posts about rear struts going bad and being replaced. I just don't know how credible they were....but I do believe most were running stock springs so it wouldnt be surprising if you have a bad one after raising the spring rate.

 

i heard a looooooooot of sti guys getting noise from their struts.

they get it fixed under warranty, and then eventually the noise comes back.

i think it's just the good ol sti struts

 

The struts on the STI are made by KYB so you'd think they'd be good. The more I read. I don't think it is the struts but the cheap azz sway bar end links I have seen too many pictures and read too many post about them bending and related problems. But I rode in Mach5's car and it sure sounds like a bad strut but the car still rides like it should it doesn't fell loose like a "normal" bad strut feels like..But my STI's struts are holding up..

 

Have you tried dieting?

 

Anyone....I just need to use them for a day.

 

Sorry Dan, I just sold mine before I left on leave.

 

try pm gdogg. i believe he's had a similar problem occur on his sti (and he works at kaneohe subaru).

 

Hey Dan...if nobody steps up, as a last resort I have a rear 04 strut but no top hat that you're welcome to use
