I noticed a creaking noise from my rear window going over steep/uneven driveways when it was new (>2000 miles). Went away, until I installed my 20mm RSB. Then I heard it again. Finally, I installed a rear strut brace with very stiff Prodrive/Bilstein suspension and the creak actually went away. I now believe that there is some value to a rear strut bar on most Imprezas.

Yup the older bodystyles almost need front and rear strut tower bars. What a weak chassis

But then again you dont have to live with the bug eye look

Similar issue...

I had an unidentifiable rattle coming from the passenger side. On a ride the other day, I had my buddy press down near the "Oh Isht!" handle. It seems that there is a loose bolt/screw up above the headliner, probably from my wagon roofrail. I don't know if auto-x or normal driving caused it to come loose, but it is now. Anyone else have this happen?

edit: Oh yeah-'02 WRX Wagon
