Product Details

This Whiteline Rear Strut Tower Brace fits the 2003-2008 Subaru Forester X (SG/SH). Application note: Incl quick release clamp. You receive 1 strut brace and 2 quick release clamps. Order it as part number KSB590Q. This part is for the rear of the vehicle.

Chassis stiffness is easy to underrate. A brace across the rear strut towers connects two points that would otherwise move on their own, which keeps that end of the suspension working as designed.

Installation is rated moderate, with about half an hour of work listed. It does not require a wheel alignment. Other Whiteline parts we list for the Forester: Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Front Control Arm Lower Inner Front Bushing, and 14mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts.

Features

  • Chassis stiffness: Reduces flex to help hold alignment angles and spring rates steady.
  • Install guide: Written install instructions are included with the part.
  • Finish: The polished alloy finish is a visual upgrade as well.
