hopp Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Hey all, I have searched and haven't found an answer. I've got a stock suspension 2006 Canadian OBXT (which I think is the same as the US) with LGT front brakes and it's time to replace the front LCA bushings. I bought these Spec-B front LCA. My mechanic says they are 3/4" longer ball joint to bushing centerline. 18" instead of the 17 1/4" currently on the car. Can anybody tell me if they should fit? I plan to get an alignment of course. It makes me think it'll add a little caster and a bit of negative camber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utc_pyro Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 SpecB arms are the same size as yours. Mechanic is mistaken, or you actually have '08+STI/WRX arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopp Posted June 6, 2018 Author Share Posted June 6, 2018 Thanks. I'll go double check with my own eyes tomorrow. After I posted this there was a small doubt in my mind that I had the WRX one. I seemed to recall that it was about a 3/4" difference. Seller listed it as a legacy part. I wanted to be sure they were the same size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rougeben83 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 You may have received STI control arms. They have a wider track in front. You could still run them on your car, as long as you're ok with the higher neg camber. It's great for turn-in, you'll need to keep an eye on your tire wear.
