The Rhino-Rack Universal Load Assist # RR-RUSL has a couple mounting hole options to ensure a fit on most crossbars. There hasn't been a confirmed fit on your 2002 Subaru Forester factory crossbars, so I recommend you use the Inno Kayak Lifter Load Assist # INA453 instead which has been designed to fit with your factory bars.
