Product Details
Owners of the 2004-2005 Subaru Forester XT can fit the Whiteline Front Strut Tower Brace (Large Top Mount Intercooler). It goes on the front of the vehicle. You receive 1 strut brace and 3 brackets. Part number KSB599. The chassis code on the listing is SG. The listing names the XT trim.
A strut tower brace ties the two upper strut mounts together with a rigid bar, so the tops of the front 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. No alignment is needed afterward. Working on the same car? We also list 14mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts, Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit, and Rear Trailing Arm Lower Front Bushing for the Forester.
Features
- Finish: The polished alloy finish is easy on the eye in the engine bay.
- Chassis stiffness: Reduces flex to help hold alignment angles and spring rates steady.
- Corrosion protection: Rust protection comes from plating on the metal parts.
- Install guide: An install guide comes in the box.
