Snowman Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I've been looking around at rear overload springs to put in the 1997 Outback struts that are on my 1992 Legacy, and they are available at a pretty reasonable price from Rallitek for 2000 and up Outbacks but not for older ones. 1stsubaruparts.com lists the pre-2000 and post-2000 cars as having different springs, but does anybody here (perhaps those of you who work at dealers or otherwise have access) know what the differences are and if I can put the overload springs for the post-2000 outback in my pre-2000 struts? Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 '00+ legacies use a multilink rear suspension, instead of the modified macpherson. '97 legacy springs are about 5.25" in diameter, '00+ are about 3" you might be able to use them anyway, but they won't sit in the spring perches correctly.
