Has anyone had to change their suspension struts? At 95k miles, my Outback is a little softer than new, but still ok. I'm wondering what experience others have had.

Mine have never lasted that long. TG
all struts wear out.
95k is a lot of miles!jm2c ken
When did you replace the struts (the mileage) ?
I have a '99 Legacy with about 95K actual miles and still handles great.
I don't know. It didn't feel like it was broken-in until I had about 40k on it. The
95k miles were easy miles for a Subaru.
What exactly is meany by a strut? Is it the entire spring/shock assembly?
111K miles on my 97 Legacy Wagon (not outback) and I can't tell any difference.
My 91 Legacy wagon has 130k on it and the rear struts are getting a little soft and I will replace them in the next few months- handling is ok tho Derek

Just replaced my rear struts & springs at 110k miles ('94 legacy wagon). Talk about a MAJOR improvement (better cornering and very little body roll). I probably get the front struts & springs done in the fall.

210,000 kilometers on my 96 Brighton and handling is firm even a little hard. No rolling or pitching. I bought a complete set of struts a few months back (low price at 1stSubaruparts and strong Can dollar...) as preventive maintenance and I'm still waiting for the first signs of failure to install them... Seems I was over zealous...
