Gasket97 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Would the rear struts from a 98 forester work on a 93 legacy wagon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdventureSubaru Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 They lift it about 2-3 inches. Look up forester lift. You'd probably want all 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gasket97 Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 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?

Numbchux Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 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.

wtdash Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) 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 TD Edited April 11, 2016 by wtdash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
