As mentioned, that pic was after 60km of driving, literally the morning after I bought the car, we pulled the suspension out. You can only imagine after a month of driving in the rain, how much moisture can get in there.
And yet the BC mounts have no seal at all....so they will let even more water up there...


Can someone measure the diameter of the hole? In mm, I'm trying to match the plug up...the D40 plug shows in the Subaru lookup....but it isn't anywhere near those holes....
