Hi guys
i have an issue. i notice while driving my WRX my06 keeps bobbing up and down. no matter what road condition or speed. it seems like my shockies are stuffed? the car is currently 110xxx KMs and i dont think the 1st owner replaced it since purchased.

could someone please share some light on this topic.

Have you lowered the car? lowered springs can sometimes bring a premature death to stock shock.

You need new struts!

I had the same issue in my MY05 WRX. It has inverted struts so i took the rear ones apart, replaced the grease and problem fixed Not sure what struts the MY06 has though.

Depending on what you get and where from.
You can get OEM replacements from Subaru Online Parts, but they are in the US and you will have to pay a bit for freight.

You could try and get them locally from one of the Subaru Dealerships, there is a person at City Subaru who can give discounts according to this thread.

Or, you can look at getting replacement after market struts for your car, Koni, Tokico, and KYB AGX come to mind.
RallySportDirect, GSL Rallysport, Car Mods Australia and Pro Speed Racing should be able to help you out.
