rear lateral link connects how?

[scottmcphee]

I see when you buy a rear lateral link for the suspension (highlighted yellow), it comes with a bushing pressed into one end of the link and it is an open U channel on the other end with just two bolt holes in it.

 

The bushing end is where the eccentric bolt goes through on the subframe for doing toe adjustment. The other end of this link connects to the rear arm (trailing arm with hub and brakes on it). But with no bushing on that end of the lateral link I'm wondering if it bolts rigidly to the trailing arm. Or is there a bushing pressed into the trailing arm at that point for the lateral link to hitch onto for some flex there?

 

See the red circled end... is there a bushing in there?

 

I'm just trying to get all my possible parts lined up for a job.

Yes, there is.

I think this is it:

Oh boy... I wonder if it's possible to press that out in place, or if the whole trailing arm has to come off the car to get at it. I wish Subaru had put that bushing in the link instead.

i would say it depends how much rust is on it.
