Before I get thrown under the bus by any mechanics,just so you know I'm fully aware Subaru uses metric sized. Mine were loaned out at the time and used the next best imperial size. Thanks for watching and hope it helps
Scissor jack safe? I've never heard that one (I've seen them fold/twist with the slightest movement of the car). Compress the spring by slowly lowering on to a small block of wood? As long as you still got your head i guess it is a success. I'm gonna keep looking for a proper DIY though, thanks
where did you get the struts?
How is that bolt holding up after a year or so? I did this job recently, also needed to cut it and replaced it with a grade 8. Doing some other suspension work with some frozen nuts/bolts and stumbled on some forums talking about the dangers of replacing with none oem bolts and starting to get paranoid..
I can always appreciate a good DIY video – I’m all about savings money and doing it yourself. Nice video
Um metric only buddy

Awesone job. Great skill!
Diy that's how I roll also my friend good job
A few bucks saved there buddy by doing it for yourself.All for that 🙂
Did you snug those wheel nuts again "after" you set her down? It's always a good idea… I forgot once, just a few miles and I remembered, LOL!
I'm gonna get me another Subaru… the 98" Forester gave up the ghost this spring.
