Del Gue Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I bought a new pair of struts about a year and a half ago from Autozone. I don't remember the brand off hand, but they came up on the Autozone computer for an 83' GL wagon. The right strut is now shot! I can press down on the hood, causing the strut to make noise and the entire front end to go up and down fairly easy. ( Does this sound like it could be a spring problem too?) I do not drive more than 9000 miles a year under normal city/highway driving and under normal loads. I am wanting to buy some new struts (and rear shocks), and need some brand recommendations from everyone. I would like a brand and model that is dependable, high quality but not terribly high priced. Does anyone have any suggestions? thanks for all the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exister99 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Is the strut leaking juice? I went with KYBs all around and have been beating the crap out of them for almost 2 years without problems. I got the struts on the Internet somewhere for about $76. Good luck and be careful when compressing the springs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85Sub4WD Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I replaced my front struts with ones off a low-milage vehicle about 10,000 miles ago - no problems - OEM Subaru stuff is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
