Ultimate Subaru Message Board

Recommended Posts

I have a noise coming from the rear of my 91 Legacy (FWD). The shop said it was a shock absorber so I replaced both struts. Quess what the clonk is still there. I initially thought it was the board that covers the spare tyre bouncing about, but it wasn't that. Any ideas?

Did you check the rubber mounts at the top of the struts; they are notorious for delaminating and cause a clunk

Yeah i have heard of this many times. My SVX does this right now, common problem with top mounts on the SVX at least. For the SVX subaru redeigned the top mounts after 92 so they will last longer with out the clunk, noit subaru if this applies to all subes or just the SVX.

Hmmm I assumed that when they replaced the shocks that they would check the mount and bearing plate, that sure sounds like where it is coming from. I removed the jack, spare etc from the boot to eliminate those sources. Also gave everything a good wiggle with no joy when the car was up on stands. Thanks for the replies. Ian

Well the clonk has beeen discovered and its a first as far as Pedders Suspension are concerned. It was the rear windscreen which is that loose it is moving up and down and clonking against the body. Remakably it isnt leaking!!
