Default Noisey rear end.............?

Ok ok, joking apart......... last year I fitted Ebach springs and uprated shocks to my MY02 bug eye WRX. Since then its much noiser on the road when its bumpy etc. Is this normal? It doesnt sound like a bad noice... more like someone rattling a tupawear box in the wheel arch.

Not sure its worth the hassle of taking everything apart to fix a noise if its not doing any harm.

might be worth you jacking it up and making sure that everything`s done up tightl. I had a knocking noise for a while that turned out to be a loose nut on the droplinks

Fitting new rear drop links is very easy, and can even be done (allbeit uncomfortably) without jacking the car up.

Fitting instructions should be with them. If you have none: If they are the Whiteline units then go to Whiteline Automotive - performance handling and suspension products. car spring coil shock damper swaybar sway bar anti-sway bush bushes australia australian whiteline automotive performance road holding turn-in camber caster toe in vehicle hot 4 v8 and you can find them there.

Removing the old ones can be hard (rust) but a good set of spanners is all you need.
Alternativly, a £20 note or less in the pocket of a local garage will have the job done in about 15mins max.

There is no need to have anything like re-alignment done.
