WRX USA Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 looks like an underbody part that i've never been able to figure out where it goes. listed with underbody covers. Exactly! I had no idea where they went until I got underneath my car with one trying to fit it a couple of places before I found the correct spot. That's why I figured that before/after pics would be helpful for anyone searching in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRX USA Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 do you have the transmission undertray on order yet? Not yet, but thanks for reminding me that I need to go to Primitive. Also I have my 08-09 OBXT grille that has your name on it, if you're still interested in trying to mod an OEM grille. I have no use for it since I sold all of my USDM front end body parts.

monkeyman_stones Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) Anything specifically? I'd love to see pictures from multiple angles of the Whiteline W63398 forward-most rear bushing. I've been forced to do most of the same work your car has myself (Massachusetts Subaru dealerships suddenly refuse to install anything aftermarket and most Subaru parts [unless purchased directly from them at an unreasonable loss - Example - the Rack & Pinion cost me $580.29 while the dealerships wanted $1,983.92 for the part alone, plus $983.21 for the installation] while standing directly in front of a Subaru made poster of a WRX covered in Whiteline stickers [the very brand of parts which they used to install for my car. They are very well aware that I am handicapped [severe Tracheobronchomalacia, upper arm (Humerous) tops locked to shoulder cartilage]). The Whiteline W63398 is what I've saved for last since the volume of rubber is large and the steel outside is 1/8" thick. I've already installed a new rack & pinion (because the dealership broke the steel line, leaving me with nearly no fluid to make it home with - On Route 91 South w/ speed limit of 65mph, causing the metal to grind away leaving it unrepairable since Subaru stopped selling the Rack & Pinion repair tools) with Whiteline KSR207. The removal/installer part 20099AE020 produces no results when searched for online. I'm going to check and see if the 927680000 or 20299AG000 & 20299AG010 I already have might be close enough to do the job. Seeing that the W63398 bushings actually fits will be such a relief, as no pictures of as much are found anywhere online nor on Youtube. Unfortunately I've not taken any photos of my car since I purchased it, so the sole photo is of it at the dealership just before I bought it in 2012 (but WRX's Outback in White but with clear windows and a Subaru Nav system sums it up). Still has less than 100K miles...

monkeyman_stones Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) There we go. I couldn't get an answer from anyone about the Subaru 20099AE020 bushing removal part, so I found on the Bosch website Subaru part number J-44369, then after searching I found a used one (full kit with case and all) on eBay after the seller assured me that one of the parts included was actually marked 20099AE020. So, I can now... Finally, get the Whiteline W63398 installed after pulling the Subaru 20254AE03A bushings with Kent-Moore (Subaru tool) J-44369 which includes 20099AE020. http://www.ebay.com/itm/162480161722 God I hope that the Whiteline W63398 actually fits properly (as it is much, much thinner than the OEM 20254AE03A bushing).

xt2005bonbon Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Installed JDM front fender well undercovers. Before: http://i672.photobucket.com/albums/vv87/JoshEAllen/6D66C68B-03A8-4FF6-8FC2-76FC1B63866F.jpg After: http://i672.photobucket.com/albums/vv87/JoshEAllen/60A8B9B0-FAF5-4779-BEC4-A3F1E24ACF56.jpg so tonight, I just went ahead and rotated my tires on the 06. These undercovers are indeed missing from it. BUT, the 05 has them . I just checked. So I guess they probably stopped putting these things after the first MY or something.

xt2005bonbon Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 mmh. Why would it shoot up? I think this would happen if you had too much crankcase pressure, which should not be right I think. How many times has this thing come off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRX USA Posted June 27, 2017 Author Share Posted June 27, 2017 Thats weird, my Legacy has those. I was thinking about getting rid of them. Are they too heavy for you? I'm pretty sure USDM 05's (and equivalent JDM/EDM) got them and then they were JDM/EDM only standard equipment for the remaining years of BL/BP's.
