How to Install Coil Springs and a Shock Absorber on a Subaru Legacy?

Legacy models need special locking nuts added to hold the shock assemblies in place. With the trunk rolled back, Sedan drivers can reach the top mounting nuts from below, but Wagon owners must move the carpet from the wheel wells. First, make sure you loosen the rear wheel lug nuts, position the front wheels on blocks, lift the back of the car using a jack, and place sturdy jackstands to support it. Once done, you can take off the rear wheels. Put a floor jack under the rear part where the knuckle connects to the frame, and lift upward until you feel it reach the frame. Break the shock-to-knuckle fasteners, then lift the knuckle just a bit using a jack to unlatch tough bolts. The helper needs to keep the shock steady while you loosen nuts on top. The opposite of our removal steps, we start with the jack to match the shock hole with the knuckle hole, then tighten all components to their set torque requirements. Once you finish working on the wheels and bolts, you take the car down to the ground, and then tighten the wheel lug nuts to meet certain pressure requirements.

Subaru Legacy Shock Absorber

Subaru Legacy Shock Absorber units are designed to control the motion of your suspension system and limit bounce while ensuring stable handling. In other words, the Shock Absorbers convert the kinetic energy created by the wheel and suspension movement into heat. Furthermore, the substances in the Shock Absorber ensure that this energy dissipates through hydraulic fluid. On a Subaru, when connected together as a strut assembly, each Shock Absorber's coil spring works with a metering valve. The metering valve deflects thousands of times within a few miles, so the unseen internal fatigue that develops on the Legacy is basically the same as what it experiences in the Legacy. If your vehicle rides harshly, nose dives during braking, leans excessively in corners, bottoms out, or has cupped tires, it's deteriorating and time for a new Shock Absorber. The upper mount's job is to hold the spring in place so that it can insulate the vibration from the strut shaft and allow the front assembly to pivot while steering. Worn mounts or split rubber or torn boots can cause noise and misalignment, which can lead to damage to the seals and so on. Proper maintenance of the Shock Absorber function and timely replacement restores original ride comfort and predictable control. This preserves the genuine feel of every Subaru Legacy. Further, it maintains the balance of the Subaru chassis that Legacy drivers appreciate.
