I'm having the same problem at the mo on my 06 Hawkeye, but mines more of a creak and groan noise if you know what i mean, does it over every bump in the rd, it had new Tein coilovers and whiteline arbs only 3 yrs ago

check the rear arb links , they are often under tension so appear to have no play in them , un do the shock from the hub then move the hub around and see if you have any strange noises , second thing the sti not sure if wrx are the same , have a shock within a tube , the grease dries out instead of the shock moving freely it sticks and then releases and sounds like a bump , a common fault more noticeable at slow speeds

the links that join the rear anti roll bar to the hubs where your wheels bolt to , a flexible joint at either end joined to each other by a metal rod , don’t cost very much , brake pads moving in callipers can sometimes be heard

Hi all, just an update and more help please , so what i thought was a knock from the rear is in fact not, when i take the car out of gear and roll it slowly backwards down a slight slope i can hear a sort of grinding, it does actually feel like its vibrating through the car, not loud but enough to hear it, i thought of maybe a rear UJ is this feasible, Thanks for your help,

or take it for a drive , lightly apply the handbrake when moving and see if you hear the noise , plus lightly apply the brakes when moving , it sounds more of a rubbing issue from what you have explained

You can lube up the top and bottom edges of the pads which helps a bit, but not for long I've always found. I can't really think of a permanent solution to solve it.
I've tried copper brake grease and plasti-lube, neither help for long once the pads re-settle it seems.
