Product Details
This Whiteline Front Strut Tower Brace (Large Top Mount Intercooler) fits the 2003-2005 Subaru Forester XS. The listing names the XS trim. Placement: front. Order it as part number KSB599. You receive 1 strut brace and 3 brackets.
Chassis stiffness is easy to underrate. A brace across the front 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: 14mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts, Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit, and Rear Trailing Arm Lower Front Bushing.
Features
- Corrosion protection: Rust protection comes from plating on the metal parts.
- Chassis stiffness: Reduces flex to help hold alignment angles and spring rates steady.
- Install guide: Whiteline packs an install guide with it.
- Finish: A polished alloy finish adds to the look.
