Description of the problem	For some time both rear struts in my car have been making a loud clunking noise. It has gotten worse to the point where they will now get stuck in a certain position. This can be very dangerous when driving at highway speeds as it makes the car wander all over the road. I have complained to the dealership and to subaru of america with no resolution. This is a very common problem with many of these particular cars. They have been like this since the car had about 25,000 miles on it.
