Talking Forester SG (2007) Rear Headlamp Sensor Drop Link length?
Hi all,

Does anyone know, or can measure up the length of the rear headlamp level sensor drop link? Mine was completely missing from the car. I looked around and getting mixed info, 45mm (centres) or 65.... I assumed it was the same as the front (85mm) but it's defo not!

Cheers!

Update:

I found this on ebay. It's the right shape bracket for my car, so I'm going 45mm as one post said, based on my calibrated MK1 eyeball...

Do all Subaru's need a reinitialisation if a levelling sensor is removed?

There is a similar procedure listed for all models with the same levelling system fitted.
