A leaking strut body, a bouncy ride or nose dive under braking can mean a strut is worn. Before you replace this strut, rule out tire, wheel and sway bar link problems that can feel similar. This listing is one strut for the front left; the front right is a separate part, and both are normally replaced together.
It works as a direct-fit strut replacement for the 2003 Subaru Forester, which takes one on the front left.
