Product Details

Looking for a front strut tower brace for your 1997-1999 Subaru Legacy Outback Limited? The Whiteline Front Strut Tower Brace is made for it. Chassis code: BE/BH. The part number is KSB550. Trim named on the listing: Limited. Placement: front. The kit contains 1 strut brace and 6 washers. Whiteline's note for this fit: Mid Mount.

Chassis stiffness is easy to underrate. A brace across the strut towers connects two points that would otherwise move on their own, which keeps the front suspension working as designed and gives the steering a more consistent, communicative 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 Legacy Outback: Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, 14mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts, and Front Steering Rack And Pinion Mount Bushing.

Features

  • Chassis stiffness: Reduces flex to help hold alignment angles and spring rates steady.
  • Finish: Polished alloy construction looks good in the engine bay.
  • Matched kit: The parts in the kit are picked to work together on this car.
  • Corrosion protection: Plated finish keeps rust off the hardware.
  • Install guide: Whiteline packs an install guide with it.
