Rear suspension thoughts
agree with Mr B, shocks are shot. i had the same with my 2003 XS back in Australia. the only thing i wonder about is that you still can drive her and not feeling any sweeping from the back when driving over bumps at speed MOT here in the UK they don't have shock test ramps as in other countries. compared with some other countries the UK MOT is a joke IMHO

if the piston rings aren't sealing engine oil comes through and also being partly burned causing a build up of carbon and piston rings getting stuck on the pistons. may be there is a factory error with the piston rings being used causing this? or, and now i'm getting into conspiracy theory ala "Alex Jones noise", they used Toyota piston rings? ;)- coilover pro's & cons
yes, the moment you start changing suspension parts you will need to do alignment. it's always a good thing to check that every year anyway IMHO- New Forester STI owner
