I am not sure but make sure you don't mix it up with the wrong one. I don't have a subaru anymore so no manual for me.

just as I suspected, as soon as the weight of the car was off the wheels, no more noise

no, they are stock 05's

I went through some mud puddles when I was off roading, so tomorrow I'm going to disassemble the strut (since it moves when you turn) and see if theres any mud in there. When I put the struts on it made a different weird noise for a few days, maybe they are related

^^^you turdmonger, its 04 REAR struts that clunk. 05 struts wont even fit on my car

However, I am teh awesomeo 3000 becuase I fixed the noise. It was just as I suspected, the washer that should be inside the tophat. When I put the strings on I was pissed off by the end because I had already broken my ratchet, and had spent hours and hours trying to get one bolt off
