need help!!! right control arm
My friend had a 94 legacy, it had a recent acciendent, the fenders gone, endlink got cut in half, and control arms bent.. just recenlty bought a control arm and endlink from a 95 outback.. but now I cant put in on there..
Question??
Did I buy the wrong part??
Is the frame bent too?
Heres the pic of the broken arm

Btw he said if I fix it its mine.
Re: need help!!! right control arm
A '95 Outback should use the same control arm, but the rear bushing is different to accommodate the factory 'lift'. It should still bolt in though.
I would look for signs that the crossmember or the rear bushing mounts are out of shape. Maybe the crossmember is out of place?

Re: need help!!! right control arm
When you try and bolt up the new control arm, where does it seem like it has issues fitting?

The right side hanger.. the one in the last pic.. maybe its twisted?.. how can I fix it?
Re: need help!!! right control arm
You mean the front mount on the engine crossmember? How does the other side of the crossmember look, does it look bent? If you mount the front part of the control arm first, how does the rear line up?

Re: need help!!! right control arm
I don't recall a big wrinkle like that in the crossmember. I agree....compare it to the other side.

Re: need help!!! right control arm
still have to check the car is at a parking lot at my work.. if the crossmember is bent.. do i have to replace it?.. can i take that off w/o a lift?
Re: need help!!! right control arm
Yes, you can take it off without a lift. Place jackstands in the usual locations, and then place the jack under the motor to hold it up while swapping the crossmembers.
