Ionstorm66 Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) Rear Springs and Struts I ordered from rock auto as they have clearance on the struts and the springs! I used API 270470595 coil springs and Monroe 71352 struts. Total was $82 shipped! My only issue was the Monroe struts come with a cover for the rod. It has a metal washer to hold it on the top of the strut rod. The problem is this washer is larger than the relief in the Subaru cap. This causes you to be unable to install the top bushings. I omitted the cover, and ordered some generic ones. I initially thought the spring was too long, and cut one. I did test the second without cut just to see how much I lost. You can see the cover on the right: Stock vs Uncut and Struts: My wagon started with the right touching the bump stop due to my tools in the back. Numbers: 24.5" Before 27" Cut 28.25" Uncut Stock: Cut spring: Uncut: Edited October 10, 2020 by Ionstorm66 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hex1 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) How are the springs and struts working out? None of those images loaded for me Edited October 9, 2020 by Hex1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of those images loaded for me Try the pic now, should be fixed. Only issue is the flats on the shaft are too long after you tighten the nuts. So on hard bumps they hit the body. I lift would solve this, but I just cut off the flats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
