List of Polyurethane bushings available for BD

[grayguy]

I'm going to be taking out a good amount of my drive train and suspension for my up coming swap, so I figured I should get all new poly bushings while I'm at it. I can't seem to find a Kit for everything anywhere. I looked as energsuspension.com and they had stuff for the wrx, but not anything specific to my car. Can anyone be kind and post a link to a kit?

[sheepdog]

I'm not sure there is one. What all are you swapping? If you're using wrx subframes, you use wrx bushings.

[grayguy]

I'm using a T-leg sub frame. I know you can get the bushings for that, cause my friends T-leg has them.

[AussieDan]

You can get SuperPro, Whiteline and Noltec bushings. The 95-99 Legacy uses all the same bushings as the 97-01 Impreza.

I'm not aware of anyone selling a kit with all the bushings included.

The suspension bushings you may want to replace are:

Rear Lateral Link (front) (4 bushings)
Rear Lateral Link (rear) (4 bushings)

Superpro: SPF1492K (inner f & r) & SPF1497K (outer f & r)
Noltec: N61382 (8 bushings)

You can use an adjustable lateral link kit, like the ones made by whiteline and sti, instead of these.

Whiteline: KTA108 (4 arms) or KTA107 (2 front arms & 4 rear bushings)
Noltec: N62034 (4 arms)

Rear Trailing Links (4 bushings)

Superpro: SPF1491K (2 front bushings) & SPF1907K (2 rear bushings)
Noltec: N61383 (2 front bushings) & N61381 (2 rear bushings)

Front Lower Arm (inner-front) (2 bushings)

Superpro: SPF1390K
Noltec: N51709

Front Lower Arm (inner-rear) (2 bushings)

Superpro: SPF1387K (no camber change) or SPF1388K (alk effect)
Noltec: N51710 (no camber change)

You can use an Anti Lift Kit, also available from whiteline, instead of these.

Whiteline: KCA361 (comfort), KCA319A (medium) or KCA319M (race)

Front Sway Bar (2 bushings)
Rear Sway Bar (2 bushings)

These should be ordered according to the diameter of your sway bars.

Whiteline: W0404-18, W0404-20, W0404-22, W0404-24 (last 2 digits are diameter in mm)
Noltec: N22383 (18mm), N22352 (20mm), N22353 (22mm), N22354 (24mm)
Superpro: SPF1383-__K (15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25.4 & 29mm)

Front Endlinks (4 bushings)
Rear Endlinks (4 bushings)

Usually people replace the entire endlinks with stronger alloy versions available from whiteline, noltec, perrin, sti, etc instead of just changing the bushings.

Other bushings you might want to replace are:

Rear Differential Mount (2 bushings)

Superpro: SPF2664K

Rear Differential Outrigger (2 bushings)

Whiteline: KSB751
Superpro: SPF1978K

Transmission Crossmember Bushings (2 bushings)

Superpro: SPF2358K

Steering Rack (2 bushings)

There are also a number of bushings in the shift linkage.

Front bushing
Rear bushing
Linkage Bushings

These are available from Kartboy & Turn In Concepts

If you have all those you'll definitely also want Group-N mounts

Engine mounts (2)
Pitch Stop Mount
Transmission Mount

You'll probably also want to replace the front ball joints (if you're lowered check out the whiteline roll center correction kit), and the inner and outer tie rod ends.

[auspex]

wow, that bushing list is almost worth a sticky.....i'm in the midst of replacing bushings & mounts, so this thread helps a ton for reference.

THanks!!!

mike

[grayguy]

Wow, that is a hell of a list. Probably should be stickied. Thanks a lot guys! I'll probably be ordering up a great deal of that stuff soon.

[sheepdog]

Sticky granted.

[AussieDan]

Thanks for the sticky guys! I'll dig through my notes and see if I can flesh it out with some part numbers and vendor links.

[grayguy]

that would be even better!

[jjs316]

that would be amazing if someone came with a kit or group them all together to purchase at once.

The life in a perfect world... :roll:

I just installed a full prothane bushing kit made for an 02 wrx onto my 98 ouback wrx swap. everything fit in fine. alot of work to install though, id recommendjust dropping them at a shop that has a press.

havent driven the car yet, but ive heard that poly bushings add alot of NVH, an alternative is the group N offerings you can get the full kit for 500 or so which is five times as much as the prothane kit, hence why i went with the prothane kit :)

FYI. Noltec has merged with Whiteline and is now called Whiteline Plus

I got this from one of Noltec's/Whiteline's major distributor.

"We are basically closing out the Noltec inventory in North America. An Australian company called Red-Ranger owns Noltec, Whiteline & Nolathane. They are re-branding the Noltec range as Whiteline Plus and changing the material from the blue polyester to a translucent black Polyurethane. The blue Polyester is a longer lasting and superior poly material for performance automotive applications, but 5 times more expensive to manufacture the parts from.

As we sell out the Noltec products we have on hand, we will be replacing the stock with Whiteline plus."

Does anyone know of a website where I can actually order some urethane bushings.

I have been looking and looking, but all I find are dead ends.

I have a '99 Legacy. I am looking for the bushings for the control arms on each side of the rear (the ones that run from the rear suspension to the body of the car, front to back orientation) and the sub frame bushings for the front of the rear diff sub frame. These bushings are the 2 large ones that are in front of the gas tank and near the sides of the car.

Any help would be appreciated.

Yes me, I can get you whatever whiteline offers.

Can anyone confirm what is in large blue letters?

If so then Energy Suspension makes a couple partial and a complete kit that will work. Aside from the swaybar bushings.

Any help is greatly appreciated. I am hesitant to but a kit without knowing if it will fit.

[chuckthefuk]

Confirmed. Except steering rack I believe. Also that "master" kit is not a true master. Its missing all the rear diff and outriggers bushings, transmission pad bushings and a few others.
-chuck

[ajfsgrl08]

So the bushings that are included are for the arms that run front/back on the rear end. The bushings for the other arms side/side are not included in the kit then? I assume that the subframe bushings are not included either?

Just for clarification from someone that knows the designations better than I do, my car is a 1999 Legacy L wagon. It is a BD correct?

[chuckthefuk]

BD sedan
BK wagon
BG outback wagon.

Please try searching.
-chuck

[ajfsgrl08]

Are the bushings the same between the BD and the BK?

No luck with searching on this one.

Thanks for the help.

yesh, they are

[jamal]

[Alcology]

I just wanted to ask here, rather than another section, about bushing lube. Is it worth it?

[chuckthefuk]

if you dislike a sloppy ride then yes bushings are worth it.

[Alcology]

Yes... I'm talking about bushing lube, to lube the replacement bushings

[mike-tracy]

Yes... I'm talking about bushing lube, to lube the replacement bushings

You use a special teflon based synthetic lube. Most other lubes will break down the polyurethane if that's what yours are made of.

[Alcology]

Thanks mike

[98legwag]

I'm thinking about upgrading my sway bar bushings. I have Outback sway bars which are 20mm front and 18mm rear as listed here. Does anyone happen to know the part numbers for energy suspension bushings? Advanced Auto's website listed about 5 different size bushings for each. Thanks!
