Unfortunately SuperSprings has not tested any of their coil inserts with your vehicle, but we may be able to find something that will work.

• Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2009 Subaru Forester
  
• There are trunk mount bike racks that will fit your 2009 Subaru Forester but Yakima does not list the SuperJoe Pro line as a fit. What I recommend is the KingJoe, # Y02620, of the KingJoe Pro, # Y02625. I have included a picture of how the racks will fit on your Forester. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical mens bike) I recommend bike adapter bar # Y02531. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and provide

• Removal of the Front Bumper and Grill to Install a Transmission Cooler on a 2009 Subaru Forester
  
• From the research I did it looks like you will need to remove the front grill and bumper to install a transmission cooler like the Derale Dyno-Cool Tube-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit # D12906. There will be 16 plastic rivets that will need to be removed. You can use a screwdriver to pop them out. Take your time getting these out so you do not break them. Once the grill and bumper are removed you will have plenty of room to work to install a transmission cooler like the # D12906. I am going t

• How to Install the Yakima RailGrab Roof Rack on a 2009 Subaru Outback
  
• Based on my research, you will want to use the medium claws to attach the RailGrab towers to the side rails on your 2009 Subaru Outback. If the small claws are currently on the towers, then that would explain why they are not making good contact with your side rails. I recommend using the medium claws to see how they fit. It does not matter if you tighten the silver allen bolts first or the black allen bolts. If it is easier for you to tighten the towers to the side rails before you center t

• Attaching License Plate to Cargo Carrier
  
• The legalities regarding a cargo carrier obscuring a rear license plate can vary widely by state. Your best bet would be to directly contact the State Police or Department of Transportation in the states in which you will be traveling. The Pilot 20x45 Cargo Carrier, part # CR-114N does not provide a dedicated place to attach a license plate. You could drill two holes through the rear rail in order to bolt the plate in place, or simply use zip-ties to temporarily attach the plate, if needed.

• Will the Thule T2 Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2009 Subaru Impreza
  
• The Thule T2, # TH917XTR, is designed to fit in a 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch. If your 2009 Subaru Impreza has a hitch then you will want to take some measurements to determine fit. measure from the center of the hitch pin hole straight back to the distance required to clear the rear of the vehicle. If that distance is less than 18 inches then the rack will fit. If it is also less than 3-1/2 inches then it will fit when folded up. I looked at the instructions for the hitches we carry for your Im

• Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2009 Subaru Outback Wagon and 2008 Acura MDX
  
• There are no trunk mount bike rack options for the 2009 Subaru Outback Wagon because the vehicle is unable to support the weight at the point where the carriers must be placed. In order to carry bikes on both vehicles, you will need to install trailer hitches on both and use a hitch mount bike rack. For the Outback Wagon, the most popular hitch is # 87446 and for the MDX I recommend # 87474. These are both Class III hitches with 2 inch receivers. I have linked instructions and videos for both

• The K Source Universal Clip-On Extra Large Towing Mirror, # KS3891, works best on a mirror with a more flat back than what is on your 2009 Subaru Forrester. What might work better is mirror # 40375. The little feet can be adjusted to fit the contours of the back of the factory mirror housing. I have included a link to a video review for you.

• If your 2009 Subaru Impreza Sport has crossbars on your roof rack that run side to side, you will need to measure them to determine if the Curt Roof Mount Cargo Basket, part # C18115, will fit. If your crossbars are at least 15 inches apart on center and less than 3 inches wide, the basket will fit. I have included a link to the installation details for the basket.

• Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2009 Subaru Forester and 2011 Subaru WRX
  
• For the 2009 Subaru Forester, you have numerous trunk mount options, see link, including the Passage 3, # TH911XT, that you have referenced. For the 2011 WRX it gets a little more complicated. If that vehicle has a rear spoiler, it is considered a no-fit application. The spoiler will not allow a trunk mount bike rack to be mounted safely on the vehicle. But without a spoiler you can use the same Passage 3 bike rack for it. If you will be carrying womens, childrens, or alternative frame bi

• Where Should a Transmission Cooler Be Installed on a 2009 Subaru Forester
  
• The ideal location for a supplemental transmission cooler like # D13502 is directly behind the grille in front of the air conditioning condenser and radiator. I have included a diagram that shows the 3 possible locations. In the picture, space A, in front of the AC condenser, is best because it gets the most air flow. Space B, between the condenser and radiator, is next but you will see a decrease in efficiency. And space C, behind the radiator, is the least efficient so if you have to instal

• When installing the Curt Class III 2 Inch Hitch, part # C13046, on the 2009 Subaru Tribeca the plastic fascia tabs will be located on the lower part of the bumper towards the corners. It will allow the plastic rear fascia to flex enough to allow the hitch to be installed to the bumper beam. I am including a link to the installation instructions on the Curt hitch, but it does not show where the tabs are located.

• Will the Yakima SuperJoe Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2009 Subaru Legacy with Factory Spoiler
  
• I did some research on the 2009 Subaru Legacy and it looks like there were 2 different spoilers. there is a low profile one, and a second that is much higher off of the trunk. If you have the low profile one than you can use the SuperJoe Pro 2, # Y026129. If you have the higher one the best option would be the KingJoe, # Y02619.

• Do Draw-Tite or Hidden Hitch Trailer Hitches Require a Stabilizer Strap on a 2009 Subaru Forester
  
• Curt hitches that cannot be used with weight distribution systems require a stabilization strap, # 18050, for any non-trailer load such as a bike rack or cargo carrier, to be in compliance with the Curt warranty requirements. If you would just be towing a trailer you would not need to use the strap. The Draw-Tite and Hidden Hitch trailer hitches (like # 75650) do not require the use of a stabilization strap.

• Wiring Kit Needed for Dinghy Towing a 2009 Subaru Forester Behind a 1992 Monaco Motorhome
  
• To wire your 2009 Subaru Forester for dinghy towing behind a motorhome you will need to install a tow bar wiring diode kit like the Roadmaster 6-Diode Universal Wiring Kit, # 154-792-118158, or use removable towing lights like the E-Z Mount Tow Light Kit, # EZT20B. The Tow Ready Harness, # 118467, and the Curt Mfg.

• Buying a Bike Rack for a 2009 Subaru Legacy Wagon or a 2009 Subaru Outback Wagon
  
• If your 2009 Subaru is a Legacy Wagon, then the Thule Raceway 2 Bike Carrier, # TH9001, will work on your vehicle according to Thule. If your 2009 Subaru is an Outback Wagon then Thule does not recommend using a hatch mounted carrier because the vehicle is unable to support the weight of the carrier. In either case I would recommend a trailer hitch and hitch mounted bike rack. For either the Legacy wagon or the Outback wagon you can use the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch, # 75560. Fo

• Curt vs. Draw-Tite Hitch for a 2009 Subaru Forester XT
  
• Either the Curt Hitch # 13147 or the Draw-Tite Hitch # 75650 would work very well for you. The main difference between the two is the tube design like you noticed. There is not an advantage to having a round tube over a square tube hitch or vice versa. Some people just prefer the look of one over the other. Check out the picture I attached that shows both hitches installed on a vehicle so you can see which look you prefer. When determining the towing capacity of a setup you must always go wit

• Comparing the Yakima RocketBox Pro 14 Cargo Box with a SportRack Aero XL Cargo Box
  
• To me the Yakima RocketBox Pro 14, # Y07192, is not only one of Yakimas best boxes, but one of the best boxes that we carry. The reason is because of its shape and features. The box measures 74 inches long by 33 inches wide and despite its size it still has 14 cubic feet of storage space. The RocketBox also features a simple and easy to use mounting system that clamps around the crossbars rather than using u-bolts to mount them like the Aero XL box.

• Comparing the SportRack Aero XL Cargo Box with Thule and Yakima Cargo Boxes, 2009 Subaru Forester
  
• Basically, it depends on what features you want in a cargo box. The SportRack Aero XL, # A90275, is going to give you all of the basic features of a cargo box. The main difference is going to be the mounting hardware. The Aero XL uses u-bolts, which you can see in the last picture on the product page. The u-bolts are going to be a secure connection, but they take a lot longer to attach to the crossbars on the vehicle roof. Yakima and Thule boxes have a clamping type of mechanism that makes i

• Availability of Trunk Mount Bike Rack For 2009 Subaru Forester XT Limited With Spoiler
  
• The best way to carry bikes on your 2009 Subaru Forester XT Limited with a spoiler is to use a hitch and a hitch bike rack. Thule, Yakima, and most bike rack manufacturers do not recommend using the trunk mount racks on vehicles with spoilers. According to the manufacturers, the racks are not test fit on spoiler equipped vehicles, and a fit cannot be guaranteed.
