lmdew Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I replaced the rear struts on my 06 Forester with a set of KYB's I had from a 98-04 Forester. The top hats and springs were different but the 00 KBY struts I had bolted right in, springs, and top hats. Brake line support brackets had to be modified a bit for the lines to go in but they worked great. I kept the 06 Springs and top hats if I ever need them.

wtdash Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Larry, Please explain What was different about the '06 top hats? The '03-'08 should all be the same - other than the XT (turbo) having different ground clearance- which could just be different springs?? I did see this that '06 had more ground clearance: http://www.cars101.com/subaru/forester/forester2006.html#specs thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmdew Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 The 06 had a D shaped top hat and a tapered spring. The mounting studs were the same spacing. Seems too work great. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
