Offroad Subaru Suspension Torque Values

Offroad Subaru Suspension Torque Values

One question that has come across the RalliTEK desk is, “Can you send me the torque specifications for the suspension after I install my lift?” The interest in this question has lead us to create a chart for torque specifications for your Subaru Outback (2000-2024), Outback Wilderness (2022-2024), Crosstrek (2013-2024), Forester (2009-2024), Forester Wilderness (2022-2024), WRX (2008-2024), Impreza (2008-2024) and even STI (2008-2021). The chart covers the front strut torque values, rear suspension torque values and the rear subframe torque values.

We do highly recommend that you torque the fasteners with the car on the ground and the suspension loaded; torqueing fasteners while the suspension has no weight on it can cause premature bushing wear and can also give false alignment specifications.
