Replace a worn rear strut and spring in one step with the Focus Auto Parts Suspension Strut and Coil Spring Assembly, part number 1345470. This rear Subaru Legacy strut assembly is a direct-fit replacement for the listed 2005-2009 Subaru Legacy applications.
As a complete strut and coil spring assembly, it combines the strut and its coil spring in one unit. The coil spring helps support the vehicle's weight at that corner, while the strut is designed to dampen suspension movement and help control body motion over bumps. Because the spring comes already mounted on the strut, the original spring does not need to be moved to a new strut.
- Part type: Suspension strut and coil spring assembly
- Position: Rear
- Application: 2005-2009 Subaru Legacy (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details)
- Part number: Focus Auto Parts 1345470
Signs that a rear strut assembly may need replacing include excessive bouncing after bumps, fluid leaking from the strut body, a sagging rear corner, and knocking over rough roads. Worn mounts or other suspension parts can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing parts.
Replacing both rear struts together is recommended so damping stays even from side to side. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners, torque specifications, and whether the original fasteners may be reused.
