Is there any way to tell if a forester should have the self levelling rear shocks in it. Original shocks have been removed and replaced with sf shocks and springs, so I cant tell what was originally in it. Forester sg 2004 non turbo

 

You can put your VIN into the Subaru Parts Database and it should tell you what it left the factory with.
Partsouq.com has the UK/European database

If the stut info includes "SL" in the description, then its self levelling with the corresponding lighter springs.


The camera icon gives images of the part

AFAIK most UK/Euro SG foresters came with self levelling
They are expensive which is probably the reason they were changed

 

Nice, i will have a look
