Like many others, I was in for the WUM98 - "Forester Passenger-side Front Airbag ODS" and they advised me of the open spring recall. Now the mysubaru site doesn't list it for our vehicle, but the dealership said it was, so they ordered the parts. Now I have a question for the group: it's a '15 with just over 28K, is it worth replacing the shocks? My thought is if I bought replacements and asked if the dealership, as long as they have the strut assembly out to do the springs, if they would install the new shocks? So, at 4.5 years with 28K, is it worth the expense?

Theseus161, kinda what I was thinking about the dealership NOT installing parts they didn't sell. Thanks for your thoughts. Again, it's a low mileage but with the amount of salt and brine they spread in Maine, the winter takes a toll on any suspension component.

Alignment isn't required after the spring replacement as the replacement doesn't involve any of the alignment function.
