Ovcoursitsilver Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Can someone point me to a reference for the factory ride height of my 2017 Legacy 2.5 Limited? I've been searching this forum and others without success. The reason I ask is that the rear appears to be even lower than it was new and I'm wondering if the rear springs are sagging.

Not for the 2017 Legacy, but I think it is going to be very close to the 2015 (see below). Even the 2019 Legacy is very close to the 2015 (see below). The 2015 US FSM states the wheel arch height for the 2015 Legacy (measured at curb weight from the rim centre). Front: 397mm (15.63”) tolerance +12mm -24mm (+0.47” -0.94”) Rear: 381mm (15.00”) tolerance +12mm -24mm (+0.47” -0.94”) The 2019 US FSM states the wheel arch height for the 2019 Legacy (measured at curb weight from the rim centre): Front: 397mm (15.63”) tolerance +12mm -24mm (+0.47” -0.94”) Rear: 383mm (15.08”) tolerance +12mm -24mm (+0.47” -0.94”) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ovcoursitsilver Posted November 14, 2022 Author Share Posted November 14, 2022 Thank you XT-sub and silverton. I'll take some measurements tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovcoursitsilver Posted November 14, 2022 Author Share Posted November 14, 2022 My best effort at measuring this morning give me 15.5" to 15.75" in front and 14.25" to 14.5" (362 mm to 368 mm) in the rear. The driver's side rear is definitely 0.25" to 0.5" lower than the passenger side. But that looks to be within the specified range. Has rear spring sag been an issue with this Gen? Mine has only 70,000 km. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
