Product Details

This Whiteline Rear Strut Tower Brace fits the 2006-2008 Subaru Forester X L.L. Bean Edition, XT Limited (SG). The part number is KSB590Q. This part is for the rear of the vehicle. In the box: 1 strut brace and 2 quick release clamps. Trim: X L.L. Bean Edition and XT Limited. Application note: Incl quick release clamp.

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. It does not require a wheel alignment. 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

  • Chassis stiffness: Helps keep alignment angles and spring rates consistent by cutting down flex.
  • Install guide: Instructions for fitting are packed in the box.
  • Finish: The polished alloy finish is a visual upgrade as well.
