OEM Subaru Struts and Mounts

Hey gang! I'm in a bit of a dilemma. Forced by the dredded "knocking" noise from the front-end, I packed up the SVX and headed to Larry Myers Subaru here in good ol' WV.

So luck being on my side, I got one of the few Master Techs. in WV that knows something about SVXs. (He did my tranny swap after it puked all over the place about a year and a half ago). We spent about 3 hours checking the car out and what have you, and determined, that among other things new struts, and mounts (I have a '92) are needed in all four corners (all leaking pretty bad).

The dealership had nothing in stock, but they said they would be more than happy to order me TWO new front struts and mounts to the tune of about $700USD. Now, I know this is a dealer, but I think I'm getting raped pretty badly. My question is, Subaruparts.com has them quite cheaper, however they list 2 part numbers for both front and rear struts. Which one do I pick? One is $182.14 and the other is $99.02. Same deal with the rears.

Front: http://www.subaruparts.com/diag/?mod...category=210-A

I've seen a post here and there about this, but never seemed to see an answer.

Any help would be grealy appreciated.

Thanks,
-Rollins

P.S. From the way it looks right now, there will be two more SVXs to add to the list to be @ Reading IV!!! We're gettin' 'em ready!! WOOT!

Re: OEM Subaru Struts and Mounts

The part numbers for the strut assemblies are 20311PA001 for the right front and 20311PA011 for the left front.

The right rear strut is 20360PA001 and the left rear strut is 20360PA011. These are cheaper.

The front struts have been modified to accept the new upper strut mounts, which were a problem in the 1992's. You will have to replace these as well. The part numbers for these 20320PA011. They run 69.93 each.

John,

I just noticed that Trish's VDC Outback is "Wintergreen Metalic."
I thought that she disliked green and liked burgundy. Please explain.

Interesting about this.

I have a similar noise and was trying to track it down.

I may have to go for the top-mounts...

Maybe I'll go for the Konis + GCs instead.

She likes wintergreen... but not polo green (I think she is still fond of the pearlie) On the other hand she loves the bordeaux pearl but does not like burgundy on her car. (even the Claret of the 1992's aren't pretty to her) She sees the color of your car more of a creamy raspberry latte


Claret, bordeaux, burgundy... I didn't know that Subaru was so much into wine (except in their wheel bearings)
