BiggiePauls Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Hello everyone, I'm a new member with a '92 Legacy Wagon w/ Air Ride Suspension. The air ride suspension has recently gone out, and now I'm riding on the bump stops, not fun! So I was wondering what the best way to replace or repair this problem would be?

Legacy777 Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Your best option is to replace the air suspension with a conventional strut/spring suspension. What I'd suggest is going to a junkyard and finding a complete spring/strut & strut top for each wheel. But a set of KYB Gr2 struts, to replace the old struts, and call it done. You can then remove the air compressor & air tank as well as all the rest of the air suspension components. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballitch Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 how much are these kyb gr2's apiece anyway, got a 98 legacy sedan that could use new struts, ant difference in stiffness? ~Josh~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Tirerack.com has the best price on the KYB stuff. I think they're around 50-60 a strut for the GR2's.....somewhere in that ballpark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed on tireracks website the KYB's (both GR2 and the AGX) have a note- Note: Front Right fitment Does not include models with Air Suspension or the Outback. has anyone actually replaced thier Air Suspension with these. I called Tirerack and they said these do not work to raplce Air Suspension. Does anyone know why? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 It's not a direct fit because you need to replace the strut mounts and whatnot with the parts from a legacy that has the spring/strut suspension. Try the wreckers. I don't recall off-hand which parts are specifically required - check bbs.legacycentral.org I noticed on tireracks website the KYB's (both GR2 and the AGX) have a note- Note: Front Right fitment Does not include models with Air Suspension or the Outback. has anyone actually replaced thier Air Suspension with these.
