Thanks for the replies I mentioned the tab on the strut mounts to the dealer and he said that wouldn't affect the Australian market.im beginning to Think whether it's strut noise at all and not the plastic cladding under the car or something it's definitely not as well out together as say a 2001 outback or something. The plastic underneath is loose when you tap it but the sound is definitely suspension related it's really annoying . I'm thinking of taking it to a suspension specialist and just getting him to sit in the car while I drive it and see if in Thier opinion it could be strut noise like I've been told.
