I've had it with this suspension clunk!!
Alright, I've listend carefully and the clunk is prominent in two places
1) potholes - clunk in front driver side suspension 2) speed bumps - styrofoam rubbing sound from rear suspension 3) taking speed bumps diagonally - clunk from the driver side of the car, no matter which tire is taking the bump. SOOOO... i'm thinking that the bushings are worn out. I'll just save myself the trouble and replace the ones that could be affected. Could someone make me a list of part numbers, and possibly a diagram where they're located? I'll pick up the parts tomorrow THANKS!!! -Ross |

CLLLLLUNNNNNNNNNK ISSSSSSS GONNNNNNNNNNNEEEE!!!!%!#%*()!#()*^()*!#^()*!#)*(^* ()!#()*^()*!#^
After 15 seconds under the hood tightening the center nut, the clunk is GONE!!! I checked the three nuts before, but i never bothered checking the center nut. It was a full three turns loose. After a quote from subaru for $933 in parts, and $300 in labour (LMFAO), it was solved for NO money WHATSOEVER!!^%@!#!#^!#^!#^!#^ YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! Assholes didnt even open the rubber lid for the strut. They would have seen it right away. |

Thanks a ton doesn't begin to show my appreciation. Stephen

No, it is more like the size of a quarter. It will just pop off and on no problem.

Hmm... novel idea. Your struts are clunking and you tighten them up.
