Detailed Description

This TYC starter, part number 1-17840, is specified for 2003-2008 Subaru Forester, 2003-2007 Subaru Impreza, 2004-2007 Subaru Outback, and 2005-2006 Saab 9-2X applications. The 2.0 kW output, OSGR configuration, and clockwise rotation are the key fitment and performance identifiers for matching the correct starter to the vehicle’s electrical starting system.

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle year, make, model, and starter configuration before installation. Match the OSGR layout, 2.0 kW output, and clockwise rotation to the original unit to avoid fitment errors. Verify electrical connections, battery condition, and cable integrity during replacement so the new starter can operate correctly in the Subaru Forester, Subaru Impreza, Subaru Outback, or Saab 9-2X application.
