Hi guys

The rear left strut has broken the seal in it which causes the shaft to move around a little causing it make a horrible knocking noise.
This has happened to me twice in the last 2 weeks since installing lowered springs, first it happened to the stock struts and now to my brand new replacements. The first time i hit a pot hole and the second i was just pulling slowly into a driveway.
I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else or if anyone knows what is causing it to do this, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Josh

Old struts and lowered springs = blown struts.

2002 Outback - it's gone...
