Hi There,
The FSM for a 2006 Forester does not show the return spring but I bought these parts from a subaru parts dealer using my VIN so I am confident they are correct.
There is a note in the brake section
1) Is this a return spring or a wear indicator. Or both!
2) The indicator is only on one pad. Should it be the outer or inner pad. From the note I am guessing inner but FSM from other forester years have it on the outer
3) Should the spring be at the top or the bottom? I would guess the top so when the wear indicator does hit, it is pulled away from the body and actually bends with the spring.
Bonus question
- Its really only 70ftlbs torque for the lug nuts?!
I don't think I can upload images as I don't have enough posts but here is a link to the part number with an accurate photo. I also cannot post URLs.. I don't want to spam the site with comments in order to post them..
The part number is 26296FG010

I had a couple things I wanted to confirm since it isn't perfectly clear in the FSM
1) Is this a return spring or a wear indicator. Or both!
2) The indicator is only on one pad. Should it be the outer or inner pad. From the note I am guessing inner but FSM from other forester years have it on the outer
3) Should the spring be at the top or the bottom? I would guess the top so when the wear indicator does hit, it is pulled away from the body and actually bends with the spring.
