has anyone else noticed this?
Every car i've worked on (SVX included) it always seems like the passenger side of the car is always a paid to either take apart or put back together.
for instance, today i put the new struts on my 03 impreza and the passenger side had issues trying to line up the holes, (took about 20 mins to get it all aligned and put together) and the driver's side popped right in first try no hassle. when i took apart the svx parts car, everything seemed to be more seized on the passenger side and i ended up stripping the axel nut. stuff like this i'm finding just mind boggling, anyone else run into this?

I've noticed this too! I have found it is easier to just turn the car around and I don't have the problem.

Passenger side of the car sits in the curb and sees more moisture than driver side. I noticed most cars have more rust on the passenger side than on the driver, soobs at least.

I haven't noticed this on my project car, however, I sometimes wished someone would have hit my ebony on the passenger side so I could have repaired the rust on the cheap.

i've noticed this a lot. be cautious if you ever take out the pinch bolt for the ball joints on newer subarus. or just plan on replacing the passenger side bolt.

Re: has anyone else noticed this?
My SVX has bigger rust holes in the driver's door than passanger door, maybe the PO drove around backwards a lot
