[G.T.Subie]

I think I may need to do this. I believe my bushings are squeking like a SOB.

[G.T.Subie]

What is a good set of bushings to buy.

Very easy if you have a truck pitman arm puller to pop off the ball joints like i have. other wise its a PITA

 

I already have someone on line for the new LCAs, but once im done, ill have an open slot for his LCA take offs.

What kind are they?

[whitetiger]

those are the fulcrum bushings-non offset type

[G.T.Subie]

So whats your process for doing these. Do you give me someone elses and keep mine?

[whitetiger]

no. i have an extra set of control arms. You buy aftermarket bushings and give them to me. I press them in the control arms. The following weekend, I put the arms with the bushings in your car and keep your old control arms to do the same thing for another person.

[Joon525]

Those were my bushings and those arms are now in my car as of this morning.

Here's a quick review thread I just posted: http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?p=936396#post936396

 

Thanks go out again to Josh for helping out with this.

[whitetiger]

thanks. And since i have you old control arms, that means i can now do this for someone else.

Sent you a PM about these.

Sent you a PM about these.

 

 

I have a 12 ton press if you need it

[team23jordan]

i'm gonna install this today and have a quick Q

when you guys were tightening a bolt down, how much torque did you use?

[whitetiger]

which bolt?

[whitetiger]

Ok, Just finished anopther lca swap yesterday, which means i have another set of control arms for anyone who wants me to put bushings in them and swap them on to your car. PM me for details.

[MonkeyHermit]

Hey whitetiger, are the control arms for the LGT and the 2.5i the same? In particular, if I wanted to put aftermarket bushings in, will they fit the 2.5i and would the current swap system you have going on with the LCA's still work?

 

I might not be doing this soon, because I just got the car not long ago, but I definitely will in the future and might save it for when I do other suspension upgrades at the same time.

[whitetiger]

I think they are the same. I dont see why they would be different. Can someone do a part# confirmation?

[Guest]

Yes, I checked, they are the same. Arm, bushing, everything. Even 2005 OB has the same part #. The only difference is in 2006+ Outbacks, and of course SpecB, which btw has different part numbers for LCAs bushings.

[MonkeyHermit]

Thanks whitetiger and unclemat, for the confirmation. I'll be needing advice in the future from the both of you for suspension related items but I will search around the forum first before asking

does that mean tat the bushings for the steal arms wont fit in the spec b aluminum ones?

I believe they should fit, they are probably just different (stiffer?).

 

You will be able to verify that soon
