SOURCE: Forester 2.0 model 2006 lift up
Ther are lift kits out there if thats what you want to do. But if you want to go up that high you will need to replace a lot of things with bigger and stronger things. Like springs, trailing arms, you may need to add trailing arms if you have not got them fitted, axle guides axle mounts, spring dampers, and you may need to change universal joints and angles to accomadate the extra hieght. Go see you local 4x4 product supplier and see what they have to offer for your 4x4 in the way of lift kits. But unless you are going to do some hardcore offroading, and often, it may not be worth your time or money to do. If you are just after looks of a lifted vehicle and don't plan on testing out what it can do, you could always just add the lift blocks and be done with that, it just depends on what you want to do as to how much and how far you need to go. You can get real hardcore or you can go for looks. But the more hardcore you go the more your wallet opens up and the money falls out!

i'm assuming you don't have a hubshark,this is a tool that will alllow you to remove the bearing while the knuckle is attached to the car,you may be able to rent this tool at a auto prts store .if not you need to remove the entie knuckle,first remove the trailing arm bolt,then the lateral link bolt{long and stubborn bolt},disassemble the brake shoes and parking brake cable,abs sensor if equipped the knuckle to strut bolt{no marking necessary they are not eccentric} then you need a to use or borrow a press to remove hub and bearings good luck
SOURCE: changing the bulb in a Subaru headlight
This is not a trivial job. I would recommend you get all four bulbs for
whatever side you are replacing - do them all. The dealer-dude didn't
have the orange turn-signal bulb in stock, and said they don't see too
many replaced. I guess thats probably right since it was about ten
years ago when I last saw someone actually use their turn signal.
So step one - go get 3 (or 4 if you replace turn signal) bulbs. The front marker and side marker are the same bulb type.
Step two - remove the middle grill. The top connectors are visible
and you can use a flat-bladed screw driver to compress the side or top
and jiggle them so they pop loose. One you get the top part of the
grill loose - DO NOT just pull outward - you will break the non-visible
two lower connectors and get to go to the dealer again to get new ones.
Instead, to remove the grill once the top part is loose, PULL UP. These
light gray lower connectors are inbedded in the Head Lamp assembly.
The exterior trim piece is next. The two top black poppers need to
be jimmied up 1/4 inch and then they pull out. The trim piece has 3
additional attachment points that are hidden. About the middle and a
few inches to the outbound side, there are 2. They have an outbound
facing notch, and the trim piece needs to be tapped towards the outward
direction (side of the car) until it is free of them. This piece can
flex a bit - its OK - but don't overdo. The final attachment is at the
outermost corner that is a 1/4" male that plugs into a female fitting -
This can be carefully pulled out and the trim piece is off.
The next part is the Head Lamp Assembly. There are 3 screws which
the owners Manual actually correctly identifies. These come out. And
the assembly is basically loose, but attached by 4 cables going into
the Assembly. The Marker lights and turn signal are easy - just untwist
them. When you reconnect them - they have VERY different slot keys, so
you won't have trouble remembering which is which. The tough one is the
headlamp.
The connector to the bulb has a rubberized cover. You can't see it
while it is in place,but it has the word "PUSH" and two arrows on it
pointing at the sides. You need to press in on the sides, a little
higher than the middle, and disconnect the bulb connector. I had to
gently use channel locks to do this.
When the connector is removed, you can remove the rubber dam
material surrounding the light. It may stick, but this entire thing
will come off, making removal of the bulb a much simpler task.
Once this is removed, you will see a wire latch holding the lamp
in. Squeeze the wire latch (like pinching a clothes pin - kind of) at
the top and it should release the bulb, which can now be simply removed
from the enclosure.
Replacement is the reverse and will be much easier now that you see all the parts that were previously hidden.

Yes. There are 2 types available. A 1 piece and a 2 piece. The 2 piece has a seperate turn signal. Good luck and have a good day.
