Default Rear Strut braces

What a pita of a job :S (in a saloon)

Least it went in, even if it required a fair bit of persuading!

I had a wagon it has one... it was easy to fit indeed :P.

Getting the seats out to gain access is easy,.. bending bits of metal with knuckle bars to make stuff fit... more of a pain!

Definitely a benefit of wagons and the Forester!

However, the front one was a swine to fit on the Foz. Can't exactly remember why, but it took me longer than expected and longer than the rear.

my first introduction to scoobies was fitting a rear bar to my mates blob saloon, maybe that's why I got a wagon, took me less than 2 mins I think to fit in that.
