not the crush tubes, but a thickness thing. Since you've got two kits out that address it you've got it covered.

tranny crossmember bushings. One needs to be either thicker or a spacer bushing run as the 05+ LGT and 08 Imprezas have one bushing that is a bit thicker than the older setup. If this kit has a bushing that is a little thicker then it's good. If it's a kit for the older car setups then it won't work.

Update from WL. Turns out they also fitted a set on a legacy last week, and made this discovery. they are going to be releasing an updated model listing in the next few weeks on what else will fit.

yep - from what we can tell they are all the same dimensions for the R160 setup. I have some here as we're going to try them on the SVX.

Ok - few things - Front control arm rear bushings - the 2008 Impreza ALK won't really fit without some work. Tony reminded me that someone tried the Superpro kit that all of you guys use on an 08, and the stack heights are different. Front control arm forward bushing - WL has a WRX and an STi version (they are different). One of them may work with the LGT. We need to crossreference part numbers. Rear subframe inserts - don't know. Anybody have pics of them? I can tell you pretty quick. Keep in mind that Tom@Kartboy has also released some doughnuts for that on the Impreza that may also work well for that location. Rear diff mount bushings rear of the diff - there's the WL inserts, there's the good old superpro press in bushings, and then there's the group N ones.

on the front control arms - we think they should, but we have not confirmed for real, and haven't heard from WL on those. The kdt bushings are the rear diff kit such as you see there, and the rear subframe kit. The part numbers recently changed to the kdt naming scheme. I will ask WL to make a half kit.

Parts sent. Even if they don't fit feel free to keep the stickers.

Bump. You're right. Enough waiting. PM me your address.

Yeah - that's the part I can't remember. That's why I want to slide under a car and take a look.

That is the question. I'd like to have a local stop by as I'd like to check on these, and also these: http://www.iwsti.com/forums/how-install/129590-2008-whiteline-rear-subframe-bushings-w0598.html

Here's what I'm talking about on these: http://www.iwsti.com/forums/how-install/128779-2008-whiteline-rear-diff-bushing-install.html

Hey guys - Whiteline has released an insert kit for the 08 Impreza that fills the voids. We're wondering if it would also fit the leggy. Anyone want to swing by the shop so we can take a look?

I mean solid compared to having no gaps on one side, and the other has very thin gaps. I have new new 2008 Group N catalog. I will check for replacements there. OD and tube thickness seems to be around 55mm. If someone has their legacy apart currently can they measure width. I believe they are around the same.

Interesting discovery today - Pulled the cradle mount of the 08 to take a look. Seems the bushings on each side are different. One is solid, and the other has voids. IIRC, the LGT bushings are the same with voids on each side. Pics coming soon.

have you tried to rip it off yet? Those Indiana farm boys building these things take a torque spec and quadruple it.

yeah - I saw that. I was just emphasizing that inserts I think are the best bet on this so far.

The thing that I keep trying to figure out is the install. From looking at the car locally, and how difficult it was to even just get to the bushings I have to think of some way that a normal human can do this. As this point I am resigned to the fact that perhaps an insert would be best for the rear diff bushings. The reason being it would be much easier to install. Just a couple of nuts, some grease, push the insert in, and re-apply nuts. Rallitek has more experience on inserts than we do though so I'd like to know their thoughts.

Thank you for the clarification. I thought you were talking about something else as well. Specifically these: http://www.turninconcepts.com/product_info.php?products_id=335 On those arms - you're looking at tube, tube ends (one side left hand threaded), good rod ends (one side of each left hand threaded, and be sure to buy GOOD rod ends - Aurora as a minimum, FK for better), jam nuts, and you're going to need to mill some high misalignment spacers to fit the cleavis, and make up the angles that you may need. Overall, very simple parts, but most folks don't have access to the equipment to make the small bits that they need.

I've got two GC style rear subframes here that I've been using to take measurements for these (GC and LGT use the same bushing). One of the big hold-ups in all of this is how to get the old bushings out. That's going to be the most difficult part of all this. Even with a trick split design it's that teardown that's killing me. Oh - did you find that the lower diff carrier bolts were put on by a gorilla when you did yours?

I may have something coming in really soon that I will need someone to try. This person cannot be faint of heart, or have a lack of mechanical ability.

I'll be honest - we had pushed this to one side until the weather got cooler since it seems that we wouldn't be able to get a good test platform. Now that you can do it in all temps I'll move it up in the development plans.

Amy - check the LCA bushings up front.

There's a $300 bounty on anyone who can provide evidence of cast in holes. That bounty has been around for a few years now, and so far no takers.

i would generally agree with this, but quite a bit depends on the courses you have setup in your area. I personally have boiled and heated ATE superblue to the point that it came out brown, and smelled/tasted very burnt. Absolutely. stabbing at the pedal will just allow the fluid to flow past the bubbles. it's steady smooth pumps that get them to move along.

I think I mentioned the pressure or vacuum bleeders, but it's good to put emphasis on it. I am not familiar with the GS610 - can you PM me some info? We do ATE or RBF600 on the cars here that we work on.
