Just wanted to say thank you to Haynes for posting these videos on YT.

perfect, really easy , the rear is much harder because you need to compress the springs

I second the comment about this not being accurate for this generation Legacy. The paper manual is wrong as well. The sway bar links are a nightmare to remove, definitely buy yourself a new set if you're going to do the job. The Moog links are a huge improvement.

This not accurate for a 2016. Just replaced mine. The sway bar end attaches to the strut which is not part of this job. I would buy new ones before you start. Getting these off is a bitch. I replaced with Moogs from Advanced auto for like $35 each. They are a much more serviceable design. They eliminated the stupid allen head design on the link and replaced with a nut to hold on back side. They also added zerks. Much better design and if I ever do this again I can get them off. FYI I got lucky to find links in stock had to drive 30 minutes though. Not a stocked part normally, buy before you start IMO if yours attach to struts.

I have a 2015 Legacy purchased in Canada, and the sway bar link is attache to the top of the strut ???

So, since there is a camber bolt you can mark and return to the same position, is an alignment not needed after this job?

2015-2017 are a separate generation. Not accurate.
