[My 1993 legacy adventurewagon]

You have made a wonderful car.

I have a legacy wagon awd ej18spi 1992 and i want to lift it with struts. Here in this forum i learned that i must put struts from an outback 1998 mod . Here in Greece i can't find those struts. Can i use forester parts and from which model to increase clearence?

Thank you .

Buy all 4 struts for a 1998 Legacy Outback, re-use your springs and top hats. In the rear you will probably need to put a couple lockwashers under the nut that holds the top hat onto the strut because the threaded portion of the Outback strut rod doesn't go far enough down so the nut jams before it actually clamps the top hat. Other than that it's pretty easy. Instead of un-doing the brake lines and bleeding them after, just cut into the bracket and bend it back so you can slip the hose out. do the same to the new strut, slide the hose in, bend it back flat and put the spring clip back on.

I can't find outback struts here in Greece. Can i put parts from a Forester and which?

Thank you in advance.
