desertsubaru Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Anyone know what the difference is from 2002 forester and a 2003 forester. I broke a rear strut on my 2003, one strut is $70 bucks. I can get two rear from a 2002 for the same price. They have different part numbers, So what changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is a 2003. Want to know if new struts from 2002 will work on 2003? Edited February 2, 2016 by desertsubaru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) ^^^ ah - NEW struts, not sure, if the part numbers are different, just go with what matt and bleak said I guess. forester forum might know. also, at NASIOC there is an entire thread called something like "will this suspension part work on my car" Edited February 2, 2016 by 1 Lucky Texan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
