Product Details

This Whiteline Rear Strut Tower Brace fits the 1998-2002 Subaru Forester Base, L, S (SF/SG). This part is for the rear of the vehicle. Part number KSB590Q. Whiteline's note for this fit: Incl quick release clamp. Included: 1 strut brace and 2 quick release clamps.

Body panels flex slightly under load, and in a corner the tops of the rear struts move toward and away from each other. This brace spans that gap, which stiffens that end of the chassis and lets the suspension do its job with fewer unwanted changes in geometry.

Installation is rated moderate, with about half an hour of work listed. No alignment is needed afterward. To go with it on the Forester, see Rear Sway Bar Link, 14mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts, and Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit.

Features

  • Finish: The polished alloy finish is a visual upgrade as well.
  • Install guide: Instructions for fitting are packed in the box.
  • Chassis stiffness: Reduces flex to help hold alignment angles and spring rates steady.
