Hi Guys going to change the caliper pin bushings and rotors/pads at the same time. I want to confirm I don't need new pins only the bushings (rubbery things, MAX:)) Do I need OEM bushing or will Raybestos work? Thx All!

I'll take the pads, PP please!

Thx Outback and Max I'll be replacing those pin bushings 1st, I'll let you guys no the outcome!

What does it fit a 18 STi?

Mentioned the caliper slide pin bushing to my mechanic, he said it's not that he thinks it's the strut top hat. OEM top hat description: Suspension Shock or Strut Mount Strut mounts or strut bearings are often service with the strut assembly, and when they fail they can make a squeaking noise while turning or a metallic clunk noise when going over bumps. If your 2005 Subaru Legacy is noisier than usual on bumpy roads or under braking, you may need new strut mounts. I find it interesting that the description says noisier under braking when my annoying sound goes away under braking. Thoughts anyone?

Thx Max

Outback please excuse my ignorance, which caliper slide pin bushing do you recommend I buy and install. Thank you

Mechanic says ball joints are good, I'll have the caliper slide pin bushings checked, thx Outback

Thx guys LCA's were replaced not long ago, I'll have my mechanic look at the ball joints tomorrow.

Original owner 136k wagon. Clunk/rattle that sounds like it's coming from the passenger front end, only at low speeds 20-30 mph on less then perfect roads, if I apply the brakes while driving it goes away, no issue at higher speeds. I though it may be the end links or front sway bushings so I changed those out and it's still there. I wonder if it has anything to do with the caliper or rotor? Any thoughts would be much appreciated! Thank you.

Very interested in replies!

Reasonable option! https://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/ny-rebuilt-vf40-turbo-283174.html

Just replaced the rear rotors and pads original 134k, Centric premium and Akebono, new front end links and FSB bushings are next.

JMP will receive my VF40 for a custom build Monday ( John, if you read this no hurry ) Catted DP, possibly a new TM intercooler and a tune to follow, I've had the wagon since new, very well maintained 134k, it's finally time to put out a bit more HP.

Today, I had my mechanic look at the slight clunk I had at lower speeds, he said replace my front end links & sway bar bushings, I just ordered Moog 750049x2 $41 w/tax Amazon & Energy FSB bushings $21

Just threw a set of Raxels in my GT , quality is amazing!

Pm'd

Thx for the offer, I'm going to go with a fresh rebuild probably like John uses in his GT.

Reached out to John (JMP) to have a VF40 rebuilt, waiting for a reply.

I'll take the VF40 please send me PP info.

I'll be installing rear Centric premium rotors and Akebono pads on my 05 Wagon next week, purchased at Rock. I have Hawk on the fron,t seem to squeak at times even though I've bedded them, my mechanic swears by the Akebono!

I feel for your vehicles on the Right coast!

Price seems low to me, should go quick.
