October 7, 200916 yr Mine are shot. The back end sags and wallows around like a pig in... shtuff. Every Legacy I see that is of the same body style as mine (96) is sagging in the back. So I figure my chances of finding a set of struts in a junkyard that don't sag are gonna be pretty low. But what if I grab a set off a wagon? First of all would they even fit? Are the wagon springs stiffer? I searched and didn't find anything. If this has been done before, could someone give me a link?

October 8, 200916 yr Author So they're the same across the board except for the Outback? I don't think I've ever seen an outback in either of the yards I go to. Oh well, whatever I get can't be worse than the ones that are on there. Thanks for the info.
October 8, 200916 yr The non-outback legacy wagons have a little stronger spring rate in the rear. It'll still work fine in a sedan.
October 8, 200916 yr Author That's fine with me. Actually I would prefer that. I tend to load up my trunk with tools and a ton of other crap on a fairly regular basis. There are tons of wagons in the yards too.
