Great fit!

JWH

Perfect replacement for the Outback I was working on. Odd design by Subaru that the shock is loaded and hard to get off because of the pressure. All in all this makes the job much easier.

Strut and spring assembly install

These were an exact fit. Came with new nuts for mounts and went in very easy

Great price quality parts, delivered precisely when promised.

Much easier than I thought

Sergio

Arrived promptly, easy to install. Customer service was fantastic. Will be doing the front soon. Very happy with overall experience.

Fast shipping, good fit, good quality!

Struts for our 2006 Subaru arrived in three days. The fit was very good. No more clunking from rear end.

Delivery review

William

Havent installed the parts yet, but the delivery process was extremely fast

Subaru Outback rear struts

Jim

Having found that a spring was broken on one of the rear struts on my 2008 Subaru Outback and being a guy that says "I'll do it myself". I shopped for new strut assemblies and determined that 1AAuto was the best deal. I ordered the struts and they arrived in two days. The installation went well and quickly. The feel of the car with the new struts is a huge improvement with much better ride and body control. I highly recommend these struts for great value and performance.

So far works perfect.

Cezary

I was impressed with service and timely delivery from 1Aauto. Product itself looks good and fits perfect. Really nice ride after repair. Too early to say anything about quality, but for this price I can change it every year. Thanks.

perfect fit and easy install

Jerry

Better price than RockAuto and super fast delivery. And the 1A youtube video showing how to install was very helpful. Thanks!

Great suspension

It fit right in didnt take long to install. Took at make 2 hours with taking out the old suspension in that time too

very easy checkout with PayPal love it

Ersin

In terms of prices I believe they have the most competitive prices on parts. Dont know how they pull it but they make it happened. I had the struts installed and car runs great and smooth ride. After a week a replaced the front struts as well and I bought them again from them so far it has been a good journey. I hope they last for some time at least. I hope this helps. jason

purchased rear struts.

rear struts for my 08 subaru outback ....fantastic parts and service. I would highly recommend 1A Auto to everyone.

Perfect fit

Yama

I ordered rear shocks from 1A Auto. Since Ive watched more than a few of their videos, it only made sense for me to give them my business. Good quality parts at a great price. 1A auto parts is on top of my list if I need anything else for my car. I highly recommend 1A Auto Parts.

Parts fit perfect the shocks work well easy to install

Looking for a reasonable shock advance Auto parts in different local parts stores were almost twice the money very pleased fast shipping got around time

Took the bounce out

Installed these on my 2005 Outback XT. Good quality. Good price. Will order fronts in future. I tow a 4 wheeler on a small trailer and these really made a big difference over my worn out ones. Install was pretty easy.

Good and fast

JEFF

Struts fit perfectly. Shipping was fast. Product performs very well. Why spend more money when theee work and the price is so much bettet

Great quality struts

Customer service is excellent and the quality of the struts is great compared to the price of KYB struts. Put them in my 2007 Subaru Outback. Will be installing the fronts this weekend. Installation instructions from 1A are on the money.

Affordable, easy to install, and high quality.

I needed shocks and loved this pair for an amazing price, saved hundreds compared to the shop or auto parts store and used the install video for a quick fix on my car. Will keep coming back for all my car parts here.

Easy and correct part

David

I was skeptical on this after getting quote from dealer/shop for over $1,000 for the job. Parts arrived SUPER quick and packed well. Took about 2 hours total for everything taking my time and never doing struts before. Highly pleased with quality of parts and fit like a glove.

Great service

Kristina

Every time I have used 1Aauto they have had great service and they are so on the ball with getting the correct part to you in a timely manner.

Product performs as advertised, and I'll probably do the front struts with this product when it's need.ed.

George

Not too difficult an installation with the help of my son with no lift. Three days later put 600 miles on the outback and the car felt very good. It would have been significantly more difficult had I attempted to accomplish the install by myself. The price was also a plus!

OEM Replacement

Dustin

Fits great on my 2009 Subaru Outback. Cheaper than all the other places I looked. Thank you!!

As easy as the video

Sam F

Parts arrived quickly and well packaged. It was almost as easy as it looks in the video. I am a total amateur and it took me about 2 1/2 hours total. About an hour of that was figuring out that the stock Subaru scissor jack is too tall to fit between the control arm and frame. Once I used the scissor jack from my wife's Fit, it was very easy. I saved about $350 and that is after buying a jack, jack stands, and a torque wrench. I'll be doing the front soon.
