Some of the OE shock absorbers for these vehicles have an angled collar before the threaded stud of the piston rod, there is a spacer which fits into the rubber bushing of the top suspension mount. If you remove that type of OE shock absorber, you must remove & dispose of the spacer, as it is built into the KYB piston rod.

Some vehicles have self levelling suspension. It is possible to fit standard (non self levelling) suspension onto a Subaru Forester vehicle that has self levelling as OE, however the result is a car that sits low at the rear.
