Front struts
What's the difference between the front struts that sell on subaruparts.com for $182.14 with the number 29 next to them or the ones that sell for $99 with the 2x next to them? Which ones do you get for the 1992 LS-i AWD?
Thanks. Richard

The $182 price is the complete strut. The $99 is the bare strut. To my knowledge, the complete strut is no longer available.

Richard,
Give SubaruPartsGirl a PM about front struts - she's been able to beat SubaruParts.com's prices and she's at Wilken's Subaru in Glen Burnie!! Note: I think Subaru stopped selling the complete strut assembly when they heard how fantastic Mychailo's springs are ( ![]() ![]() -Bill (now at T-3 days to getting his SVX back with all new struts and Mychailo-special springs!!)

I need the same thing. Front struts for '92 AWD. Can she be reached by just calling the dealer or is this a "special" deal?

Here you go!
Re: Rear struts, etc. for a 92 LSL
Directions to Wilkins Subaru: 95 N to Rt 100 E. Take Exit for Rt 2/Ritchie Hwy N/Glen Burnie Go down about 5-7 miles and we are on the right hand side. It's a somewhat small cream colored building with a blue stripe around it and you can't miss the Subaru sign of course. Note* The road right before us is Furnace Branch Rd, if you see the MVA you went to far. If you have any trouble just give us a call. Jackie Wilkins Subaru 410-689-8061 Hope this helps. -Bill

I ordered a rear bearing & seals from Jackie today. She was a buck or two more than Subaruparts.com, but only 5 bucks for shipping to Wilkins. She says the parts can be picked up in about 4-5 days.
Ron.

Hey, SVXRide
I have a clunking noise everytime I hit the slightest bump, crack, etc... in the road and I am almost 100% positive that the struts are shot. The stiffness is completely gone and the noise occurs on both sides so I think I am do for a set of struts. How are they sold? Can I purchase them from you as a complete set or assembly? How much will it cost? Does they need to be ordered? Last edited by UStifosi; 02-24-2004 at 07:06 AM. |

Ron- Have you determined which bearing we are replacing yet?
Richard- The less expensive part number is definitely the one you need. Sorry, I forgot to mention Wilkins as a parts source. I've done business with Jackie before and had a good experience.

[B]Ron- Have you determined which bearing we are replacing yet? No, but I have an appointment with "Homer", my next door neighbor mechanic to put her on the lift this Friday, & hope we can tell which one. I looked at my Heritage bill from the last bearing replacement, & they had done the right side, but who knows? I'll call you when I know sumpin' . Ron.
