The bottom spring seat is most likely lower on the standard Impreza shocks by about an 1 or so. Measure your old one and the new from the bottom of the strut to the spring seat. I bet you will see the difference. If the tires are not rubbing at all, you should be able to run them. You may be able to get the parts store to change them since they sold you the wrong one.

I had a slow leak on my 98 Impreza OBS. I replaced all the orings, but the only ones that looked bad were the two on the compressor. It fixed the problem. The compressor orings had taken a set and were flat on one side. PS take the orings with you to match them. Even the Subaru Dealer could not pull up the correct part number and wanted to order the parts shown as none were in stock.

Or hit your local yard and pick up a used one for about half that. They either work or they don't. -

Rattly hatchback

Pull the bottom trim that covers the latch catch. Mark the current position. Loosen the two bolts. Get a block of wood and a hammer and drive the latch back about an 1/8 to 3/16". Put it all back together. It works great, I've fixed the rattles on two 98 Impreza's that way. -
Lots of WD40 or other good penatrating oil. Let it soak for a few weeks ahead of time. 17 and 19 mm 6 point 1/2 dirve sockets. Socket for the axle nut Large breaker bars. Rust will fight you all the way. The bottom strut attach bolt that goes to the arm may be rusted tight at any place along the length of the bolt. Use a punch to drive out the axle nut locking punch mark With the car on the ground and brakes set, break the nut loose. Remove the tire Loosen the bottom bolt that holds the knuckle to the arms. Remove the brake caplier and disk Remove the 2 bolts holding the knuckle to the strut Drive the axle out of the hub Replace any bad parts and re-install

White 90's Turbo sedan gray leather interior in SLC Pull-A-Part (not sure of the name) on Redwood Ave just south of I-80. Body is good, high mileage 220K. Engine is there as is the auto trans. It had brand new front capliers and they are Mine! I don't know why it's in the yard, bad trans most likely.

The paperwork is a mess. The POA the dealer used is only for a title with a lien or lost title. I have the original. The CO DMV won't take the Power of Attorney (POA). The Dealer has changed hands and isn't willing to do much. I may have to go to the Dealers Board in SC to get this straight. If I could get Joshua to get a duplicate title and sign it over to me I could bypass dealing with all the Dealers.
