Product Details
Made to fit the 2006-2008 Subaru Forester, the Front Strut Tower Brace (Large Top Mount Intercooler) from Whiteline. Chassis code: SG. Part number KSB599. Included: 1 strut brace and 3 brackets. This part is for the front of the vehicle.
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.
Whiteline rates the install as moderate and lists 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 Rear Trailing Arm Lower Front Bushing.
Features
- Corrosion protection: Metal parts are plated to resist rust over the long term.
- Finish: Polished alloy construction looks good in the engine bay.
- Install guide: Instructions for fitting are packed in the box.
- Chassis stiffness: Helps keep alignment angles and spring rates consistent by cutting down flex.
