Front strut options for 2018 Subaru Impreza?

[benjy]

good find, hopefully they are what you need + last long enough

Well, if the originals lasted 350,000 miles.........I shouldn't say that because they probably gave out closer to 300K.

Junkyard struts installed and can finally drive it without getting motion sickness,

also replaced the ball joints,

control arm bushings,

sway bar bushings,

tie rod ends,

brake pads,

and changed the brake fluid,

Because I rather show I installed a name brand part than the cheapest bottom of the barrel part. Gives buyers more confidence and car sells quicker and for more.

A 350k car and buyer cares? Just asking

I don't expect to be selling it to someone looking for the cheapest car.

We’re all of those parts worn out?

Subaru part numbers are different, but the should physically fit.

Not sure on this late of models, but make sure the strut mount is the same height from the end. One of the 2002-2007 Impreza hacks was to use Forester struts to lift the car; the strut body was the same but the spring mount was welded on 2” higher, which lifts the whole car. Don’t want that to happen if you’re only doing the fronts

The struts definitely were and the brake pads were half worn. The ball joints, control arm bushings, sway bar bushings and tie rod ends probably not, but they are so cheap and since I'm already there, might as well. Showing the front end was just rebuilt will help sell the car.
