Mnlegalis Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Hello everyone I am having a rear strut problem. I replaced all four struts with the sensen brand for the legacy before I had Wrx struts and coils and on the rear I added was a saggy butt spacers. Now with these new sensen rear struts I have Wrx springs and saggy butt spacers but they are rubbing on the side wall. (Pictures given) I've read other NASIOC forms unsure if they talk about this happenig unless I am blind. And I missed it.. also I want to add on the top of the struts the arrow is pointing out also. Old struts were not rubbing. Hopefully images added upload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doublechaz Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 There are some guys here who have done various strut swaps. I bet they will be along shortly with some solid info. I'm running OE, so I don't have any details to add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton96 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I have the same problem, its because you're running Legacy or Outback struts on the wrong car, either legacy struts on an outback or outback struts on a legacy. I just took my strut out and hammered the spot it rubs, there's not much you can do about it otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnlegalis Posted April 28, 2018 Author Share Posted April 28, 2018 I guess I wanted to avoid that. I also thought those were OE I am a little disappointed. https://www.partsgeek.com/gbproducts/DC/395-05538202.html?utm_content=DN&utm_term=1995-1999+Subaru+Legacy+Struts+SenSen+4214-0710+Rear+Left+95-99+Subaru+Strut+Assembly+96&fp=pp&gbm=a&utm_source=google&utm_medium=ff&utm_campaign=PartsGeek+Google+Base&gclid=CjwKCAjwt5DXBRAtEiwAa3vyEvqD8BtE7_O242cRT5nqjmjT5DBxwWGjmk4dOelWu8ii3_uGNPxu3xoCUeIQAvD_BwE&ad=47433970452 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doublechaz Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Larger ballpeen hammer. Clean up a little with a wire brush, and then shoot some paint on it to cover cracks and chips. No problem. Although it feels weird to move the metal around if you haven't done it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
