So, I believe my STi has joined the rear strut clunk club.
For several days I was trying to figure out what was rolling around in the trunk, or back seat, or somewhere. A dissettling feeling that occurs when stopping or accelerating.
Then I started to suspect the suspension. I can reproduce the clunk sound by pushing the the driver side rear of the car up/down.
Push push push = clunk clunk clunk
I read several posts at this site, as well as the 22 pager on NASIOC regarding the topic. My symptoms appear consistent with a right rear strut problem. I will be taking the car into the dealer next week, and post their diagnosis.
EDIT:
