spyguy Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 i just went to a mechanic to change my front struts on my 2005 legacy GT wagon. and he put on outback struts. the fronts are sitting way high and i had to point it out to him for him to realize. he claims that he ordered a strut for a limited wagon and they are higher. is that true?

spyguy Posted October 15, 2018 Author Share Posted October 15, 2018 so this mechanic, steve, gave me back the car like this. i pointed it out to him and asked if he test drove it. he said yes he drove it and it was fine. I asked him if he was crazy, and to take a look at the wheel gap difference from the back to the front. He then asked me literally 5 times if I put in lowering springs. I explained to him 5 times its completely stock suspension. This was Friday, he said to drive it and bring it back Monday and he'll fix it with the right part. Does driving it like this damage the drive train in any way? Its basically an outback front with the stock legacy struts in the rear. i'm so pissed off because this set me back 3 days, instead of just 1 day, which is what this service should have taken. Any recs for good mechanics in the north east atlanta, Georgia area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 buy a pair of front kyb GR2's for a legacy from tirerack. then bring them to your mechanic. if he does not swap them up for free, bash him over the head with one of them. once he is done, write a bad review on yelp.

whiteout Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I bought the KYB's I put on my wagon from Rockauto.com. They were about 1/3 less than the same strut at Autozone. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
