How Do You Install Struts On A Subaru Impreza?
The struts on a Subaru Impreza are a complete suspension assembly. They act to help dampen the bumps and vibrations picked up from the road while driving. Eventually, the strut assembly will wear out and need replacement. If you do not replace your struts, you could experience excessive tire wear and premature failure to other suspension parts, such as ball joints and even CV joints. Open the hood of the Impreza and locate the upper-strut mounts. These will be located on the side of the fender in the engine bay. Loosen the upper-mounting bolts for the driver’s side with the socket wrench turning the nuts counterclockwise to loosen. Remove the sway bar link from the top of the struts if your Impreza has one. Not all models will have this option. Spray the penetrating oil on the pinch bolt. Let it sit for about 15 minutes, and then spray it again. This time, let it soak for 5 more minutes. Remove the pinch bolt using the socket wrench. Turn counterclockwise to remove. You may need to use
