Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Control 14-18 Subaru Forester Front Suspension Strut Brace Gunmetal Gray fit my suspension configuration (aFe 450-731001-G)?

Will an alignment be required?
An alignment is recommended whenever ride height or suspension geometry changes and may also be needed after replacing bars, arms, links, or mounts.
