1998 Subaru Forester Pedal Pads
Technical sources confirm the 1998 Subaru Forester uses pedal pads. The Subaru FAST electronic parts catalogue for the SF-series (MY1997–2002) lists a rubber “Pad – Pedal” for the brake and clutch pedals (commonly Subaru p/n 36023AC030), and the 1998 Forester Factory Service Manual (sections BR: Brake and CL: Clutch) calls for inspecting the pedal rubber for wear and replacing if it’s hardened, cracked, polished, or loose. That makes pedal pads a relevant, factory-fitted item on this model.
On a 1998 Forester, pedal pads do the simple but vital job of providing secure grip for the driver’s footwear, especially in the wet. They also soften pedal feel a touch and help maintain consistent pedal height and compliance with design specs. Manual-transmission cars run pads on both brake and clutch pedals
