Hi All!

I'm about to lift my 1996 impreza L wagon.

So far, I have:

1999 legacy outback trailing arm brackets

1999 legacy outback rear swaybar brackets

2001 forester strut assemblies

3/8" HDPE strut top spacers

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now, I understand the procedure of how to install the new struts. I'm planning on doing the rear swaybar brackets after everything.

So, At what point should I do the trailing arm brackets?

 

Also, does anyone have the torque specs for everything? I just bought a torque wrench, and I don't want it to go to waste.

Thanks so much in advance!
 

 

 

It really shouldn't matter but it might be easier to do the rear trailing arm brackets as your doing the rear struts.Then once your done with the bracketss/struts do the sway bar mounts,then set it on the ground.Tighten the bolts for the trailing arms when its at ride height.

Pop open the hood and look at the rubber hoses, then buy some. When I lifted my Outback, mechanically it wasnt tough. But the little things got overlooked. I had to lengthen (replace) vacume lines, fuel lines, and modify they Auto shifter cable bracket. ALso you may have to undue some electrical clamps to get some slack. 

This will apply if you ever do a body lift. But as this is suspension only, the brake lines are the only ones that move and they have enough extra that there's no need to extend them.
