My Experience: Last year in April, I noticed a failure on my 2005 LGT with about 235k km at the time. To make a long story short. I first called Subaru Canada and told them everything I knew about this issue and how it was a recall at one point and how this is a huge safety concern, etc. She told me she would call me back after talking to Subaru in Kitchener (Gemini motors), and she did telling me that they would pay for it and cover the repair. Which is exactly what happened. Now, GEMINI motors destroyed my door and some other plastic pieces on the inside as they were pulling old brake lines out. They kept ignoring my emails, etc. so I went to the wreckers and got some replacement parts myself.

Update on my situation. Subaru has agreed to replace both rear brake lines free of charge. The car is '05 LGT manual with 244000km currently on it. It is with them right now. We will see how this goes. I am worried about them having to drop the tank.

This just happened to me. Is there a DIY on how to fix this?

Harshness is what I would describe it as well.... when I am on the highway, the car feels like its gliding, but when I go over a small bump/road crack, etc. I notice a dull hit in the supsnesion. Since spec B models come with 18" rims...is their suspension different height than GT model's?

^^^ I agree, even though I am not quite sure what you mean (rebound damping, etc.) for a 4 door sedan, yes its hars however, i am still to drive another one and i should , just to compare..maybe its just my car

Im kind of leaning towards the top hats. On the rear more than the front.

OK, here are a few photos I took this evening. Driver's side: http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1354/5119099128_a59a1ffc5a_z.jpg Passenger's side: http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1081/5118497633_d06c7923eb_z.jpg

Front tires are around 35 psi and rear ones around 32 psi I have stock potenzas on the car

I dont want to drive a buick or a 20 yr old caddy because I bought a Subaru, so lets not go there anymore RSX-S and LGT's suspensions are stiff and that's a fact. that's fine, I can live with that however, the clunking noise Iam hearing coming from it, indicates that something is wrong. I had 6 Hondas/Acuras and never experienced this problem Anyway, thanks for the suggestion on the KOnis

Thanks for all your suggestions so far. I googled LCA bushings and actually ran into a post from this board:\ http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/lca-rear-bushing-reasonable-wear-according-soa-114662.html This may be very close to what I am experiecing. I will have a look at mine and post pictures possibly.

OK, blown shocks is a possibility..... i agree...is there a way to diagnose that

Dude, I am sorry, didn't mean not to say thanks.

Not sure if its the struts causing it though...sometimes when i go over rough surface/road or bumps I hear this thumping/clunking noise. almost as if smething is worn out...I read it could possibly be sway bar bushings/endlinks? But this couldnt cause the car to feel stiff?

Hi, Let me just say that I purchased my '06 Legacy gt used. The previous owner put about 60k miles on it and from what he told me, most of them were on the highway. Anyway, the suspnesin was never modified but to me it seems like it's very stiff. I don't know if this is just the way these cars are or what? Does anyone else share the same opinion? I used to have an Acura RSX-S and thought that was stiff as well, so going to a 4 door sedan would make it somewhat better, but not with my legacy Gt
