When to replace struts/shocks?

Post by beancountertx »

Have an '05 Baja Turbo and would like to know when is the "recommended" time to replace struts (shocks?)? Do they come in kits and/or do you recommend replacing other parts when replacing struts. Any particular brand preferred?

Im going to wait until I start noticing a difference in handling before I change mine. My left front actually has a bit of oil seepage....but Im not worried yet.

I am curious what brands of parts these guys are going to recommend. Probably OEM.

Hey guys I will be replacing my struts soon. I'm going with KYB struts because they are basically Subaru OEM but without Subaru's name on them.
