Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras - View Single Post - What to do... (trailing link bushing replacement options)

If you need these ones:

RST-2023 -- Trailing Link, Front Bushing Pair -- $36
RST-2024 -- Trailing Link, Rear Bushing Pair (in knuckle) -- $36

I'd say the least expensive way to go about it is definitely those. You'll have to pull off your trailing arms and take them somewhere to be pressed (I'm not sure if Nate has a press yet) but that's not difficult if the wagon is running well enough by then. Pressing 4 bushings won't be much since they won't have to do any assembly or disassembly.

As for your strut tops, you would be better off with camber plates than the STi tops. Do you need all 4 or just the rears? I thought you had front tops already. Anyway, having the GC sleeves makes camber plates more useful for you than people with normal size springs like mine. Plus, it's not like NVH is a problem for your L at this point.
