The 2012 Subaru Impreza: Garage inspection Published on September 13, 2012 in Mechanical by Guy Desjardins Photo: Guy Desjardins Subaru added an extra bar to strengthen the chassis up front and under the suspension.Its shape and the way it was installed suggest that the bar was added at the last minute, at the end of the design process. It doesn’t look as though it was originally planned to be there.
