Hey all...

first friggin post here!

I am a LONNNGGGGG time member of NASIOC, so dont hold it against me...

I have had my 2005 BAJA turbo (2.5l etc etc) for 2 years now and just got informed my Rear trailing arm bushings are worn out and affecting my handling..

I have been searching and searching, SPECIFICALLY for urethane ones, for bushings from super-pro, energy or proflex for it with only impreza answers..

has anyone donned their BE-BH wagon, outback, etc with urethane bushings???

you can always make your own, but if you just want to buy find the inside and outside diameter and thickness and just search the web for that size, in some cases skateboard wheels might work. there are options just not baja specific.

you could also go with the heimjointed trailing arms Perrin and the like make for the 05+ Legacy's. Apparently they fit.

My guys at oakos automotive seem to think the front bushings are universal in all subarus, I will do some measurments for them.

I also got another answer that I have written down at work... :smt013

I hope to get them soon....I hate wasting 1 tire and having to buy 4....

Welcome BAJA owner and fellow New Englander. I don't know how different than these are with the Legacy and outback but would imagine it shared a lot of the same suspension with the 00-04 at least.

Shipjumper - this is Jlow03 from NASIOC. I, too, have been wanting to upgrade my worn rear trailing arms/bushings and have no idea what's available.

Bumping this back up for more info.

Old thread, but eh...
Powerflex make them. Superpro, Noltec etc etc all list them wrong and the same as Impreza's (as someone above said) which are alot smaller.
Part number is PFR69-406 - this is for the front of the trailing arm, the big bush.
Link to their catalogue with part numbers of all the bushes they make for the BE/BH;
