It feels like these are sticking when I am driving very slowly - ie 5-10mph and clunking/knocking as a result.

There is no noticeable noise when driving or handling defects.

Is this likely?

If it is, is it easy to remedy by taking the ARB off and re-fitting/greasing?

If not the ARB bushes, what else could it be? ... top mounts?

could be top mounts or shox as both are known issue's (on a std car)......................

be worth re-greasing the roll bar as you mention as its possible or could it have worked loose??

Are you sure the anti roll bar drop link has not broke as mine did on the Mazda and gave the same symtoms?

it sounds and feels like it is coming from the bottom not the top mounts.

Will jack it up tomorrow and see if I can check the drop links - maybe give them a spray with wd40 to see if that frees them

The drop links on a lot of cars are thin studs with bushes either end and prone to rust.
They are not seized.

Ian - checked the drop links and they look fine. I will give them a thorough check shortly.

Alyn, when greasing what is the best way to do this?

ie. wheels on ground (or ramp pref) and undo ARB bolts so that lower end bushes in accessible.... I presume put grease around the bush and the bar that goes through the bush??

Is it whilst turning or light bumps in the road i.e?

very light bumps in the road at low speed.

Have just checked with my friendly subaru dealer and will be getting the struts changed under warranty

thats what I was then going to say, the Mitsubishi ones are terrible, I have known of customers going through pairs in 6 weeks in some instances, now on coilovers :-D

going in tomorrow for them to be checked and hopefully get changed next week if in stock :thumb:
