Introduction

The front and rear suspension for the 2015 Legacy and Outback have been improved to provide
enhanced handling, durability, vibration reduction and a more comfortable experience for the driver.

Front Suspension Key Changes include:

– Front strut mounts thickened and springs optimized
– Front struts redesigned
– Front stabilizer link layout changed
– Front control arm width and rigidity increased
– Control arm bushings (rear) sealed and new bracket used

Front Stabilizer Link

The front Stabilizer link location has been moved from the control arm to the strut housing. This
increases roll stiffness and improves handling.
