Has anyone got any info on this for a 3.0L auto?

Mate's current gap from hub centre to edge of wheel arch is between 375 -380mm. Doesn't sound or look sufficient to me. His ride is "bouncy". He is often loaded up, with roof boot and towing a glider trailer.
 
Thank you very much, AB.

I've spent a fruitless 3+ hours looking for that diagram!

Now forwarded to my friend.
 
Now, the million dollar question - what to replace it with?

KYB make springs and shock absorbers to replace the Nivomat SLS.

Anything else?
 
At 14 years old you may want to replace the top strut mounts while in there?
 
I can only guess 24348 is correct (as I don't have an Outback)
 
so you dont have online shop there where you just choose car model year and it will show you all parts for all prices there ? double check on those parts because sometimes even people who selling those dont know what fits .
as for strut mounts
i think our fronts are : 20320AG01A, 20320AA110, 20320AA100
our rear ones are : 20375AE00A, 20370AE00A, 20370AG00A

shocks i would put KYBS only , and for 3rd gen outback in rear people puting 2nd gen rear ones , as we have same thing in rear same all links, except cv axles and wheel bearings.
can use harder springs if you will carry loads in rear like most time , if you will drive empty car with them it will feel funny and hard , not comfortable around. oem spring with small 1-2cm spacer on top could be option for rear.

Problem was fixed today, with Kings Springs, new shocks and tops at rear. Full alignment. Service with Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40.

Roger is very happy, thusly far, but very busy ATM.
 
So its lifted from kings springs ?
 
Not the lifted springs. Standard height, heavier duty.
 
For more loads then. Ok . If it needed then sure.
