Re: Who has purchased strut replacements from Subaru recently?

Can anyone familiar with the EA Subarus say anything about similar type products being available from Subaru? I know there are aftermarkets but I'm sure someone has at least inquired about it if not purchased them.

I recently bought ball joints and they were stamped with what appeared to be a 2011 date on one bag and a 2009 date stamped on the other. Both ordered from the same location.
I have a request in with SOA. They are going to check their inventory and see what date information they can dig up. It could take a few days but I will share what I find out.
