1/2" Rear KYB Strut Assembly - Fits 10-14 Subaru Outback

Big improvement over stock

I had the RalliTEK overload springs installed because after 120,000 miles there was a noticeable loss of dampening. I have more weight than usual because of a bed platform and full-size spare, plus I sometimes tow a small trailer and/or have a rooftop cargo box. I didn't want the stock replacement struts because I thought they would have a shorter lifespan and I liked the idea of some more lift in the back. The RailliTEK struts have worked well and they didn't make the ride too hard on street and freeway driving. You do have to watch speedbumps because the rear end will hop pretty hard if you don't go over them easy. I try to angle a little so one rear wheel goes over at a time. At a friend's suggestion I had the rear sway bar bushings replaced at the same time the struts were installed. I used the stock bushings because they were readily available. At 120,000 miles they probably needed replacing anyway. I will replace the front struts with RalliTEK overload springs when those are needed. Excellent product and fast delivery.
