August 7, 200817 yr My tires are very noisy. . .when I hit bumps Yeah, I know, get the fenderwells rolled out, but the fronts do not hit the wells. Sigh, my rear struts have gone bad, I guess. My question is this: will a 96 outback strut fit on my 92 legacy in the rear? I know the Outback struts are longer than the Legacy struts, but where is the longer neasurement? Is it in the upper (spring) area, or in the tube, below the base of the spring? If I were to lift the rear up just one more inch I would be fine. As it is now, the car squats a bit in the back. Granted, there is usually a load of tools back there, and I have been known to tow a thing or two, but I really need the back end to come up at least an inch so I don't keep getting that nasty scraping noise when the hitch drags on steep driveways (or that *bang* when I go over poorly made speedbumps). Thinking of going to AGX's anyway, for the towing and heavy weights I carry, but I was wondering if the Outback size would go into the backside of my Legacy without problems.
August 7, 200817 yr IDK about '92, but the only difference in my 97 model year is the spring seat is about 2 inches higher in the OB. After it was all done I wished I had replaced springs as well. And the additional axle angle made my right front inner boot fail in the next year, too. But the local tire store did a good alignment cheap, so that was nice.

August 8, 200817 yr Author Well, I've been looking, and can't find the AGXs I want in a size for the outback anyway. . . I could go with GR2's and they come in the right size. . .
