TRQ Front Steering Kit for 2005-2009 Subaru Legacy Outback - 6 Piece

Our review of the TRQ Front Steering Kit for 2005-2009 Subaru Legacy and Outback gives a clear bottom line: this 6 piece, direct-fit kit is best for DIYers and independent shops that need a full front steering rebuild without hunting for individual parts. The kit replaces inner and outer tie rods plus rack bellows in one box, so the single biggest reason to buy is convenience combined with an OE replacement fit that most reviewers said installs easily and restores tight steering feel after wear.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Designed to match factory dimensions so installers can replace worn parts without modifications for a straightforward swap.
• Complete 6 Piece Kit: Includes two inner tie rods, two outer tie rods and two rack bellows to restore the entire front tie rod and bellows assembly in one job.
• OE Replacement: Built to the same reference numbers as factory parts to help ensure compatibility with model-year specific steering racks.
• Anti-Corrosion Coating: Enhanced surface life from coatings helps the components resist rust on road-exposed surfaces.
• Kitted for Restored Performance: Replacing all front tie rod components together improves road-feel and steering response compared with swapping a single worn piece.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at owners of 2005-2009 Subaru Legacy and Outback models who want a single solution for worn front tie rod ends and torn rack bellows, and who prefer a direct-fit OE-replacement approach. It is particularly useful for mechanically inclined owners and independent mechanics handling alignment and steering reassembly.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of non-compatible model years or vehicles outside the listed fitment, and drivers seeking premium OE-branded warranty coverage rather than an aftermarket direct-fit option. Also expect to perform or arrange an alignment after installation.
