SubieDriver Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Regarding wiper blades, I understand a lot of '06-07 Tribeca owners install the '08+ wiper arm which is more standardized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan04103 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I bought my wife a 2006 a year ago and we love it. I'm going to take the vb out one of these fine summer days and if it matches my outback e5at I will mod it. Should be identical by my observations. We will see. We also push the rear seat back and it has plenty of leg room / car seat room. I also measured the lca bushings and the physical specs match the legacy so I will try the whiteline offset lca bushings. That would tighten up the front steering feel a bit.

That would tighten up the front steering feel a bit. uhm, imo that will be an overkill. I have wl offset lca bushings on my GT and yes they nice but the offset does not leave too much of a material for them to last long on heavier Tribeca. Tribeca comes with STI bushings from the factory and I just had dealer replace them less that a month ago. Much better feel now. As far as wipers go I don't really have the problem - I simply replace the inserts only, they are much cheaper too than new assembled wipers. 2005 LGT Wagon Limited 6 MT RBP Stage 2 - 248K 2007 B9 Tribeca Limited DGM - 258K SOLD - 2005 OB Limited 5 MT Silver - 245K SOLD - 2010 OB 6 MT Silver - 205K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laufu Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Regarding wiper blades, I understand a lot of '06-07 Tribeca owners install the '08+ wiper arm which is more standardized. My wife's 08 does not have the standard arm size on the driver side. The hook is wider and does not fit what is available from the local auto parts store. Forced to use blade refills.
