Is this the same for the forester?
I live in Oregon and just did the control arm bushings and wheel bearings on a friends Buick that came from Michigan. Ball joint was so rusted in there and was not coming off I didn’t want to mess it up so I just unbolted the strut tower and tie rod and took the control arm, strut, and knuckle out and pushed out bushings while control arm was still connected to the knuckle by the ball joint. Was a lot faster than trying to get the ball joint out lol.
is there an aftermarket upgrade for these? something that doesnt wear out and get loose?
I know for my 10 outback the LCA comes with bushings but no ball joints when bought from Subaru.
Your videos are the best. Period.
Harbor Freight has a cup-bearing press kit I've used on 4 Subaru's bushing with no problem. Now if I was doing this every day or even a week, I might buy a more expensive one, but snap on $700, ah no..love the videos.
For foot pounds. Multiply the Newtons by 0.7376
Having trouble removing 7:30 bushing. MN vehicle, need advice how to do this with a stuck rusty part. TIA
clunkity clunk clunk clunkity clunk clunk look at bushing go…
Hey brother.. are they oem bushings, or other type?
Do I have my conversions correct for the weight in American Pounds?
Rear Control Arm Bushing (Torque Spec = 110.6195 Ft Lbs)
Front Control Nut & Bolt (Torque Spec = 70.0590 Ft Lbs)
Ball Joint Hitch Bolt (Torque Spec = 36.8780 Ft Lbs)
Sway Bar In Late (Torque Spec = 191.7404 Ft Lbs)
Is there an option for without a press
I would just put in a moog control arm and moog ball joint and called it a day especially with 207k. Imho
10:30 I had one like that on my Forester. My car was shaking horribly.
I have a 2016 Impreza wagon and was just wondering, do I have to remove the ball joint, or can i just leave the pinch bolt in and loosen the castle nut instead to drop the CA?
Robert, I understand the savings if you’re just going to replace this particular bushing, but at 150k miles and having all the labor involved in removing the lower control arm, wouldn’t it be prudent to replace the other bushing and the ball joint?
And, given the price of these three parts, just replace the entire lower control arm assembly? Given the bushings are about $25 each…and the ball joint another $48…and the entire assembly about $100 and no labor involved in removing and pressing in the wear parts…
Well, you get my point.
Does this bushing (20204AG011) fit the front lower control arms for 2013 Impreza/XV/Crosstrek ?
Have a 2013 MY Forester, bushings as a pair replaced when 5-6 years old, then whole L & R lower control arms with 3 bushings complete each side replaced when 8 years old, now same thing needed at 10 yrs old now, must be a crappy design …
What symptoms were brought to you for the diagnosis of the bushing?
Will those wheels fit a 2019 Impreza? If so, what is the part # (if known)?
Thanks for doing this video. I was on vacation with the family and started getting a bad vibration when driving straight at highway speed. Checked the bushings and the smaller front bushing was toast. Couldn’t get into a shop anywhere for days and I had all the basic tools with me except a ball peen hammer. Hit up the parts store and got the lower control arm with bushings and ball joint and took on the project in the hotel parking lot. Took about 2 hours, the biggest pain was getting the ball joint to drop out of the knuckle even after letting some PB Blaster soak in over night.
