August 5, 201015 yr I need to know when the rear suspension changed on the Subarus, I think its 99 for the legacys what would it be for the Forester and other styles??
August 6, 201015 yr Check http://opposedforces.com/parts for a list of vehicles and years that use the parts in question.
August 6, 201015 yr 2000 for legacy then another change a few years later. 2008 for impreza 2009 I think for forester.
August 7, 201015 yr When they changed to the rear multilink susp. Let me do a quick check....Ok for Foresters it appears it was around November/December 1999 production when it switched. That is based on the info from here: http://subarupartsforyou.com/cp_partlistbymod.php?model=Forester&subcat=Struts%2C+Rear

August 7, 201015 yr thank you , so seams like same time as legacy No......Forresters and Imprezas kept the same rear end setup through '07 or '08 (whenever the current bodies came out) up to then, they share the same setup as the first and second gen Legacies. There are a few variations to sway bar set-up and strut lengths, springs, tophats....etc....but the bodies and subframes are the same. ('03 or '04 they added a beefy bar that runs laterally from the front of the A arm mount back to the frame rails:grin:, but that is just a bolt on) Legacy rear ends changed drastically in '00. Legacy body changed again in '05.....but near as I can tell the rear end subframe actually stayed the same. I haven't measured every bolt on the '05+ but it appears to be the same as the '00-'04. Watcha working on Scott? Edited August 7, 201015 yr by Gloyale
August 7, 201015 yr Oh ok sounds like the Foresters might have never went to rear multilink at least not around 2000? I was just assuming they did along with the Legacies and Outbacks around that year.
August 7, 201015 yr Just some pics for reference for future readers of the thread left: McPherson . right: multilink
