FACTORY control arm bushing part numbers?
Posted: Tue Feb 16, 2016 8:07 pm
Hello all. I joined the forum back in 2011 when my SO bought a 1990 legacy 4wd Wagon.
She's up to 230k miles now and running smooth and reliably, but the suspension is getting an overhaul with new struts and steering components.
I'm just having difficulty sourcing the proper rear bushings for the LCAs, and after reading every control arm thread on here I'm still a bit lost.
I know a lot of you have gone down the rabbit hole and have done some amazing parts swaps/upgrades and that's great, but I just need some plain old vanilla rubber bushings to replace the old ones. No poly for the lady, and no need for any changes to the camber/caster or whatnot through the bushings.
The closest I can find are these for a 1998-2003 legacy:
http://www.amazon.com/20201Aa030-Bushin ... B00DMA3IOU
But I don't know if a 1990 wagon has a taper in the pin, or if these bushings have a taper.
I can also get the assembly like this, again listed for a 1998-2003 legacy:
http://www.amazon.com/20201Aa030-Bushin ... B00DMA4CPE
I was led to believe that a matching set of these would fit, but I thought I would check here.
Pressing the new and old bushings isn't an issue (I have access to a 120 ton press/brake I've used on different cars), I just want to make sure the parts will fit.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
