Where do I get an inexpensive kit to replace the bearing and seat

 

should I just got to the junkyard and pull it

 

any help would be great thanks

used is fine. they fail so incredibly infrequently on Subaru's it's just not worth it sometimes. i bet close to %95 of all subaru's on the road (even 20 year old ones) are still running the originals. all of the ones i've ever come across are fine.

 

the only bad ones i have are from two "new" struts that sat out in the rain without a hood. rusted the bearings - so be careful and inspect them closely at a yard. don't assume their good.

 

if you can get the struts cheap and they're not leaking you'd save yourself some hassle by just swapping the entire strut assemblies. then you have your old ones to swap back in if the struts ever go bad.
