Does anybody know what years are the same? Or if 2.5i rear spindles are the same as the ones that common the wrx. I miss placed one spindle. Can't remember what year it came off of. I believe an 05. Uses two seals. I hear some people mention some use three? I do have a full suspension off an 06 2.5i. Would these be the same as wrx? Thx Sam

Normally 02 to 07 spindles are the same, from NA and WRX. NOT STi.
I know 2000 Forester are also the same (I have 4 of 'em on the car and fits perfect for everything even the 06 alu front LCAs and ball joints).
Pre-2000 Legacy are also the same spindles.
Brian has a nice google excel sheet with compatibility (though it did not mention the 2000 Forester). Damn I can't find it. I know there's an old, very old, thread of this.

If you really need just one spindle and can't find one, I have 4 2003 NA spindles as backups. But I am in Canada, that country USA didn't win in 1812, I wish they had, it would have cost me a lot less to build my 818. loll
