LegacyGT SpecB Alum Front LCA direct replacement for non GT Legacy?

[LewisI]

I guess this has been previously asked and I cant find a clear answer.

I have a Legacy 08 non GT with steel LCAs 20202AG180, 20202AG190 right and left.

 

Can I use Legacy GT Spec-B Aluminum Front Transverse Links as direct replacement? I found flatirons tuning has them.

 

I need to replace front -rear bushings, probably ball joints and thought why not just go for the complete aluminum LCA?

 

Thanks,

Have you checked the part numbers for you car and a GT ? if they are the same, which I think they are, they should fit.

 

But really, other then little weight savings, what are you gaining ? you still may need to replace the ball joints and bushings in them.

Yes you can use the aluminum LCAs on your 2.5i. If you buy them new they come with new ball joints and bushings. They are a tiny bit lighter but make zero practical difference on an otherwise stock 2.5i suspension.

+1, totally not worth the price new. they do nearly nothing.

I sure agree there is no benefit vs. steel LCA.

I was suspecting a damaged Steel LCA and the oem is 224 brand new, so it is pretty close to Al LCA.

if one is damaged I thought I just replace both brand new.

 

I will remove LCAs and inspect, hope to be able to reuse,

 

I'm doing a lot of work on the car, it needs new front bearings, axle boots , machine front dba discs, new dampers...
