Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Strut Tower Brace fits the 2005 Subaru Forester XS L.L. Bean Edition, XT Premium (SG). Whiteline's note for this fit: Incl quick release clamp. This part is for the rear of the vehicle. In the box: 1 strut brace and 2 quick release clamps. Trim: XS L.L. Bean Edition and XT Premium. The part number is KSB590Q.
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.
Expect a moderate job of about half an hour. It does not require a wheel alignment. To go with it on the Forester, see 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: Reduces flex to help hold alignment angles and spring rates steady.
- Install guide: Instructions for fitting are packed in the box.
