firstwagon Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 I picked up a used front air strut for my 91 Legacy wagon from a local wrecking yard that specilizes in Subarus. The trouble is it isn't the same as the one on my car. The rigid portion below the half shield is 2 to 3 inches longer then the one on my 91. Also the air line on my car enters through the top of the strut mount while the replacement one is bundled with the electical connectors and enters through the side. The "motor" on the top also appears different , mine being larger in diameter and completely round while the replacement has a smaller diameter and a protusion on the side.The reciept says it's from a 93 and the guy at the yard says he has never heard of a difference between them. He says I should just go ahead and install it but I don't see how. Anyone know anything about the differences and what years are compatible with a 91? I'm going back out there on Monday and want to make sure I get the right one this time. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstwagon Posted March 13, 2005 Author Share Posted March 13, 2005 never mind...figured it out It's a rear strut they gave me. I just went out and took off my rear tire on a hunch and sure enough. What's really annoying is the guy at the yard even went out to check my front strut againest his to make sure he had the right side and he didn't notice even was selling me a rear to replace my front. Oh well, learn something new everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 It sounded from your description that you had a rear strut replacment. Hope you get it all sorted out. And, by the way, welcome to the site.
