vertigo220 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 The holes were off by at least a half inch, and there was no way of getting them to line up; my friend and I tried. We were down there pulling and pushing and tried to put the bolt in at an angle. All of the pics show the defect. The first one shows the driver side which is flat, and the second two show the angle of the flange on the passenger side. The next two show the straight driver side arm and the curved passenger side one, and the next two show the driver side flange being level and the passenger side one being angled so much the level bottoms out. The final three show how much the hitch has to be tilted in order to make the passenger side flange level (how much the hitch would have to be bent for it to meet up flush with the frame rail, or in other words how much the flange is actually angled).

vertigo220 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Hard to tell for sure in those pictures, and I'm assuming that driveway is flat, but it looks like the two flanges are both flat on the blacktop. If I did that with mine the passenger side one would not sit flat. In fact, I should get a picture of it like that as well. Thanks for the input.

Volta55 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Bump Seems like OEM is the best with being tucked up underneath the bumper Older round tube Hidden Hitch is okay And newer square Hidden Hitch is bad because it hangs down alot and looks ugly any guidance?

jasejase Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Look for used... otherwise, it is what it is. Don't forget the outback straps (read back) if you want some extra support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volta55 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 so before i pull the trigger, is this the correct OEM one? the one that is most "tucked" in to the bumper? http://www.subarupartsandaccessories.com/p/Subaru__/Trailer-Hitch/49927200/L101SAG000.html?partner=googlebase_adwords&kwd=&origin=pla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elightbo Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Twins!! Also, if anyone has advice on how to prevent rear-end sag during the summer months I'd appreciate it I think I ate through a set of summer tires due to all the weight on the back when we go camping. http://legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=246587&stc=1&d=1490202410 everything bolted up great... thanks for the guidance guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertigo220 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I posted a few years back in this thread, as well as creating my own, about a hitch ordered from subarupartsforyou (SPFY) for my Legacy. I just realized that I never followed up, and I just wanted to warn people to stay far away from that company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave g Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I posted a few years back in this thread, as well as creating my own, about a hitch ordered from subarupartsforyou (SPFY) for my Legacy. I just realized that I never followed up, and I just wanted to warn people to stay far away from that company. Details would be appreciated. EDIT-OK, went to your linked post. You got a defective hitch and they did not satisfy you on it. Complicated by the fact that you ordered an Outback hitch for your Legacy, knowing the fitment was the same. You went to Subaru dealer and got the same hitch and it fit perfect. Got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
