Hello everyone, I'm a new member with a '92 Legacy Wagon w/ Air Ride Suspension. The air ride suspension has recently gone out, and now I'm riding on the bump stops, not fun! So I was wondering what the best way to replace or repair this problem would be?

Your best option is to replace the air suspension with a conventional strut/spring suspension.

 

What I'd suggest is going to a junkyard and finding a complete spring/strut & strut top for each wheel. But a set of KYB Gr2 struts, to replace the old struts, and call it done.

 

You can then remove the air compressor & air tank as well as all the rest of the air suspension components.

how much are these kyb gr2's apiece anyway, got a 98 legacy sedan that could use new struts, ant difference in stiffness?

Tirerack.com has the best price on the KYB stuff. I think they're around 50-60 a strut for the GR2's.....somewhere in that ballpark.

I noticed on tireracks website the KYB's (both GR2 and the AGX) have a note- Note: Front Right fitment Does not include models with Air Suspension or the Outback.

 

has anyone actually replaced thier Air Suspension with these. I called Tirerack and they said these do not work to raplce Air Suspension. Does anyone know why? Thanks

It's not a direct fit because you need to replace the strut mounts and whatnot with the parts from a legacy that has the spring/strut suspension. Try the wreckers. I don't recall off-hand which parts are specifically required - check bbs.legacycentral.org
