True.Legacy Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Hey guys I have a manual transmission, 2005 Legacy GT wagon limited with the cold weather package and I tried installing my Whiteline strut tower bar today but failed. Lol as sad as that is, it's true. I tried loosening and removing every part of it I could to get it to fit but I have a hard line that is up against my firewall that prevents it from fitting. Have any of you run into this problem? I tried looking up DIY videos but they all seem to pretty much drop in place and mine doesn't. I took the engine cover off to make sure that wasn't getting in the way, preventing me from getting it to fall into place correctly but no such luck. Any suggestions and or insight would be appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 just so you know, this is a pure bling item and will have absolutely no effect on the performance or handling of your car? posting some better pics might help. your pic looks like the radiator is getting in the way.

boxkita Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 FYI I felt the difference I think he already has the MBCB mod, so this will fix the flexible shock towers. Mine move so much its like driving during the Sumatra Earthquake. Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True.Legacy Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 Yeah sorry for the poor quality photo. I took it with my phone and had to scale it down so that the server would accept it. Yeah more or less the steel hard line that is visible just behind my Whiteline bar is getting in the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True.Legacy Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 Rob-2 is yours a Whiteline one as well? Does your engine bay have the hard line I'm talking about? If so, how did you fit yours in place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mounts were hard to just 'drop in' so I had to rock, rotate and jiggle them in. It at first seemed top seal stuck too far out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
