torxxx Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 85-92 wagons will work for that I got mine from a JY for 20 bucks a strut. The fronts require taking the tire off taking the 3 bolts out of the top of the strut (10 or 12 mm) and the 2 on the bottom holding it to the spindle ( 14mm ). For the rear, take the tire off, then you got 2 17mm bolts on the top of the strut and on the bottom there is a 17 mm bolt holding the bottom of the shock. It took me 30 min to change my fronts and the rear took a little longer because the top 2 17mm bolts are a bitch to get out. I had to take the entire bolt out using a breaker bar because it was seized in there. Good luck with it. If you get them from a JY get the ones that look the newest and/or the car with the lowest mileage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSubaruJunkie Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 Ah... fish I miss fishing..... But yeah, hit up a junkyard. In anchorage there arent many though, not that you can just wander into. Check the marketplace as well, maybe you can find somebody that has a parts car and can sell you the entire assmebly cheap. Shipping might suck, but far better than a new setup, or the cost of labor and parts at any shop. -Brian P.S. WHATEVER YOU DO!! Do not goto AAA-1 Subaru.
