Default is full klunk killer needed?

Hello,
I am on the verge of signing up the klunk gb, I just have one last issue that I couldn't find after searching, do you need both parts to eliminate the clunk? I mean do I need both the rear subframe and rear diff bushings to eliminate the clunk, as I realize having both will result in better communication with the rear of the car. Basically, are both needed just for the purpose of the clunk elimination? Thanks for your help!

No. Either the outrigger or rear diff mount bushings will work to eliminate the clunk by themselves. Getting both firms up the rear end of the car considerably though.

getting both does firm up the rear end of the car a noticeable amount and for the price, is worth every cent. consider both to be a cost effective mod. there aren't many for this car.

+1....and if you really wanna firm it up, get the sways, endlinks, and rear subframe locking bolts...

That's okay, I don't even know what klunk they are talking about.

i didnt start to hear my clunk untill i hit 23k miles witch was just recent in my 05 sti. Will these clunk killers put strain on the rear diff? if so i wont do them.

Thanks a lot! I was just thinking about joining the groupbuy and wanted to make sure one last time.


to boostedrex05- please read my other thread in this subforum about "chirping 1-2". It has a lot of discussion about whether there is more stress associated with the klunk killer kit or not. In the end, if you shifting so hard you need the klunk killer kit, then you are already placing stress on the drivetrain.
