If your legecy handles poorly and rides rough, it might be time to replace and/or upgrade your struts. A strut is a form of suspension that has a coil around it to support the weight of the vehicle. The strut acts as a shock absorber. When a strut becomes worn out, it becomes soft and fails to absorb impact the way it should, causing your vehicle to ride rough, bumpy, or loose. The handling will also be directly affected, as the vehicle will have alot of sway.
This was the problem with my 95 Subura Legacy. Struts can get very expensive, it is not hard to spend $1000. There are many good options out there. If you check around online, you can usually get alot better deal than when going into a shop. Then you can just bring the struts and your Legacy to a shop and have them put them on. Or you can install them yourself, if you have some tools and some time. They are a pretty easy and quick install. Much like replacing an air suspension conversion kits with a similar yet cheaper coil kit.
But I bought my struts online, and installed them myself. It took me a few hours to install with the help of one of my friends, and we took our time. My 1995 Legacy handled and rode like new after the install. I was thrilled, it was well worth the money.
