Hey everyone, I’ve been having a bizarre issue with my 2017 outback 2.5i 6MT. There is a loud clunking/banging noise from the front left corner when turning at low speeds. Only does it under ~15km/h (basically only when parking or pulling into a lot, and only when the car is warmed up. It does...

20mm rear anti sway bar with endlinks Greatly reduces body roll without any other upgrade to the suspension system

Hey y'all I've been continuing my research on Rallitek Suspension upgrades but am looking for some insight from anyone who has experience or currently running any Rallitek setups. As of right now, I am stuck between: 1/4" Springs (Front/Rear); 1" Top Hat Spacers (Front/Rear) $672 and Raised...

Hey, y'all, I have a set of 4 KYB Struts awaiting install on my 2016 Subaru Outback 2.5i Limited. I am thinking of coupling them with the RalliTek 1/4" Overload Springs as well due to weight and towing. In terms of the Struts, am I going to need to purchase Top Hat Mounts for the new KYB...

Hey y’all I’m in the process of planning to replace my factory struts with KYBs (front and rear). I’m at about 175k with factory struts and was informed that the RP strut is “going” and causing the front struts to compensate. I’ve also been wanting to do some more upgrades (i.e, springs, lift...

I have a 2006 with 150k miles, still has the OG struts. They're not leaking, but I assume they're pretty tired and it's about time. I went on some late night IPA-fueled forum crawl looking at posts from 2010s about using Gen 2.5 341276 in the rear (keeping the original springs) and just using...

A bit of an open question for people with the Jap made Outbacks. I have a 2022 Outback Sport - 2.5L NA engine (Aus Market) and have a decent bit of high frequency but not very intense engine and road bump vibration coming through the steering wheel. Dont feel it through the seat though. Is this...

Been chasing a rattle on the front right. Have replaced everything that has a rubber bushing in the front end so far. Only culprit left was the strut. 170k in the car, it was due for an update. Spent an hour replacing a strut today. A normally 15 minute job with 1 stuck bolt taking 45 minutes...

I replaced the rear with Rallitek springs. I really like them as they help keep the back of the Outback up when loaded. Some people have said they don't love them, and have wanted to go back, so listing my OEM springs on here for cheap. Not sure what other models these might work on. Happy to...

Having had numerous problems with the OEM style ball and socket end links with their premature wear and overall terrible design, I opted for a one-and-done approach to the next set of end links. I ended up going with Kartboy's STi End Link Combo for $225. Machined aluminum body with...

2015 Outback 3.6 67k miles. Hello, I've been reading through some posts but haven't found an exact match to my problem so I'll try a new post. It's hard to describe but I'll try. When I turn my wheel fully in either direction I get that "gripping" sound that AWD vehicles have but it's worse...

I have a 2014 outback w/2.5. It has 170k on it and ride was a bit clunky when I got it. Have replaced lower control arms, sway bar bushings, front lower control arms and sway bar end links. The amount of clunking over bumps has greatly reduced but still comes out at lower speeds; typically...

I purchased a new-to-me ‘07 llbean outback and absolutely love it. Yesterday I did a full fluid service and while it was on jackstands I noticed that the front bushings were shot. What all parts should I replace in order to replace these and all similar worn/dried rubber parts of the suspension...

Hey all, I'm having an incredibly hard time finding front coil springs for my 16 outback 2.5. Front strut is blown and the front end is sagging noticeably so about time to replace. I'm planning on using the Bilstein B4 strut but I cannot find front coil springs anywhere. Anyone have any...

Hi all, The simple story is that at the current time my 2021 Outback had a right rear wheel with a camber of negative 2.1. I want to know if I need to buy special parts in order to be able to have the camber set into alignment. The longer version of the story is I used my Outback to travel...

Set of front & rear coil springs off of a 2023 Outback Touring XT - Like new! (300 miles) Pick up in the vicinity of Portland, Oregon. Thanks, Andy

Hi all, I'm new to this forum. I purchased a 2009 Subaru Outback Limited 2.5 back in October. It has just over 120k miles. I've noticed a clunking noise coming from the front right side a few months now. I replaced the sway bar links about 2 months ago which did not solve the issue. When I took...

I've got a 2019 Outback 3.6R with 30k miles. The right rear shock absorber is leaking pretty badly (I cleaned it just to be sure it wasn't road grime, and this photo set shows it covered in oil again 500 miles later). The other shocks are fine. From a brief search of the forum, it looks like...

^I don't want this post coming off as, "I want to turn my OB into a WRX-race rally car :whistle:"... but, I ALMOST considered trading in my OB this week (for something more sporty). Has anyone had any experience with attempting to fix the "loosy-goosey" feeling that I associate with the front...

My 2018 Outback with 34K miles does not ride very comfortably on any non-smooth surface. I feel potholes and bumps. I have tried different tire pressures from 33 psi to 42 psi. Is there a suspension part that should be checked and replaced? Do other tire inflations help?
