Damping rates were too high for the soft sidewall tires and bushings. Half of the time, the struts never had a chance to do their job.

Did you repack the struts? Are they clunking or not?

Thanks for the response.
Waiting for a reply from Gancherov...
Others are queued.
If I had known these would sell so fast, I would have put them up sooner.

They didn't bind on the STi from which they were removed. However, on the Forester I had occasional binding from one of the rear struts. It could've have been a geometry difference between models. Either way, it can't hurt to repack them. It might even prolong their life.

LOL I saw that term used to describe some performance car that didn't quite have its suspension tuned properly. It makes sense if you picture a car from the side as if it were Flipper arcing over the road surface. Who knew that sea mammals could move sinusoidally?
