Would the rear struts from a 98 forester work on a 93 legacy wagon?

They lift it about 2-3 inches. Look up forester lift. You'd probably want all 4

I have all four, a friend of mine needs to replace the struts on his legacy and I have the forester struts in storage,do I have to change anything on them or would they bolt in?

Is the Legacy FWD or AWD?

 

 

The struts themselves will bolt in, if you wanted to use the whole assembly with springs and mounts, I believe the rear strut mounts will have to be swapped.

Rear top hats (top strut mounts?) will need swapped to your '93 - (same # of bolts on Forester- but different pattern).

 

There's also possibly an issue w/the tapered springs, and I'm not sure if the '93's are tapered or not, which would require the Forester's springs to match to fit the top hats....I know it's been  done.

 

You can also 'ghetto' it by drilling out a hole to match the Forester top hats ...look that up online if interested. I did than on my '90 wagon and it worked fine - thru 3 different suspension setups: OB>>Forester>>WRX
