Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Strut Tower Brace fits the 2003-2005 Subaru Forester XS (SG). Whiteline's note for this fit: Incl quick release clamp. This part is for the rear of the vehicle. Order it as part number KSB590Q. Chassis code: SG. Included: 1 strut brace and 2 quick release clamps.
A strut tower brace ties the two upper strut mounts together with a rigid bar, so the tops of the rear struts cannot flex independently when cornering loads push on the body. Holding them steadier helps keep alignment angles consistent and sharpens steering feel.
Installation is rated moderate, with about half an hour of work listed. A wheel alignment is not required. Other Whiteline parts we list for the Forester: 14mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts, Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit, and Front Strut Tower Brace Quick Release Kit.
Features
- Finish: Polished alloy construction looks good in the engine bay.
- Chassis stiffness: Helps keep alignment angles and spring rates consistent by cutting down flex.
- Install guide: An install guide comes in the box.
