I took the car in for the 90k miles recommended service maintenance. Subaru said they replaced some leaking seals, etc. In closing, told me that I had a cracked right strut that should be replaced. Since I avg only 6k yrly, what could happen if I wait to replace?

Are there safety issues?

Hi there,

Worst case is suspension & steering failure, don't take the risk have it replaced.
