I just did this job on my '07 Outback a couple months ago! Used the exact same KYB shocks, made a huge improvement. Instead of using the factory jack inside the suspension I used a floor jack on the ground and forced the shock upwards until it aligned with the hole. Worked pretty well and seemed more straightforward. Also, the first shock you removed had a KYB sticker on it, I suspect that one was NOT original to the car - that was a replacement. The other leaking strut, without a sticker, was most likely original. Somebody replaced one strut but not the other.
I watched a friend almost lose a couple fingers when a spring compressor broke and the shock came uncaged. Gruesome!
Stellar job Mr Subaru. The amount of time and effort that goes into these hundreds of videos you've done that help all of us amateurs out is so appreciated. Absolutely invaluable!
Jumping on the rear bumper would make an EXCELLENT looped GIF. haha!
That annoying guy who yells , "ow!" On the O'Reilly's ad, Is reason enough to shop at Rock Auto.
Im dieing rn .. they don't call these things widowmaker for nothing.... As he bangs on it with a hammer
I have to say suspension changes are probably the ONLY fix on a car that scare me. Even with a big set of spring clamps, i'm just expecting to fire the spring through a wall at any second.
There's no rust on that subaru! Bs! Try doing that job with the car that's lived in New England for 2 years and its instantly ten times worse
Factory uses KYB or Nokico which over the last 50 years I have found too many that leak or do not last that long. My own observation, I replace them with Bilstein B6 not B4, heavy duty, on all my vehicles, same price, last vehicle was a jeep grand cherokee going on 200k miles, when I sold it they were like new, no leaks no loss of ability. FYI...
I had to change the brake pads on my 2004 forester. I had to use a saws - all to cut the head off one of the bolts to remove the brakes . And then it took heat and about an hour to get the stud out. I hate road salt
I have found OEM Subaru struts from the dealer same cost as most major auto parts stores. Great job Mr Subaru.👍
Bump for respect and gratitude. Watched your other video to do mine, one side done. Getting my butt kicked on the front 2004 knuckle; stuck ball joint, broke in pinch bolt, siezed spindle.
Great Video! I had my mechanic - "Tim's Auto " up here in Vermont do this job for Me after I broke a strut. Now I can see what all was involved in fixing it!...
That's amazing how all that load is handled by that one bolt ! I guess at least it has a side load bolted to the lower arm!
Just needed the proper placement of them fancy ass boots, no vice needed! Great video thanks!
Thanks for the video. And tips. Appreciate.
you are awesome my man
Thanks for being thorough. Definitely gonna double check your torque specs before I do mine tho, just to be safe.
I got some Munroe struts and King springs for my 02 Forester. The springs are so thick it made the originals look like toys. I fatally bent the spring compressor getting the front ones in lol. Looks really good (raised 20 mm) and zero bounce, but man it's a hard ride lol
i remember installing coil overs that used the factory spring and using ratchet straps to tighten them up
