I got the STi rear clunking noise, what dealership fixed yours?
I have the infamous rear clunking noise tons have experienced on their STi's so I'm going to take it to a dealership to have it fixed. Good think because I'm at the 35.7K miles . Anyway I don't want to waist my time, and get BS run-around "o sir that's normal for that high performance car" . So what dealership did you take yours and what was your experience? Any advice is appreciated.

I would just start calling them and tell them you have the STi rear strut clunk. If they don't know what you are talking about, call the next one.
Don Beyer in Alexandria, VA seems to be really good. I'm sure if you talk to Jackie at Annapolis, she can refer you to the service writer there. |

I got my right rear strut replaced @ Wilkins under warranty when I had a bad case of the rear strut clunk.

Well my point with that is that they won't listen to my problem and give me feedback as to if they know about the problem or not. I wonder if there are any service bulletins ot there on this problem. Anyone? |

There is a lot of discussion about the rear strut clunk here, including the "lube it up" fix: http://iwsti.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19713 |

A friend fixed the clunk in his STI by installing some sort of a bushing kit. His username is STI_FFY.

I'm guessing this one might have to do with the rear diff. |

My '05 struts were clunking. It's a problem with inverted strut designs, not specific model years.
