hello there, just read this post with interest. my o3wrx sti type uk has now had 3 nearside & 2 offside strut replacements. i am based in the uk and this is a very common problem over here. 2 of each were replaced under warranty however the last one was replaced out of warranty. after a couple of phone calls to subaru uk i managed to get them to pay 50***37; of the costs involved.
i wonder if this is a worldwide problem with this model of subaru?
