I was preparing to install the Whiteline rear Camber Adjustment Kit on my Legacy today when I thought it might be a good idea to ask a few questions first.
This kit (Whiteline Part no KCA399 (http://www.whiteline.com.au/default.asp?page=/whatsnew.htm)) has some polyurethane bushings to replace the stock bushings on the knuckle side of the Rear Link. As well the adjustment inserts that allow for more camber correction.
Installed alone, this would mean that on the subframe side the stock rubber (?) bushing would remain. By my logic, this would put an undue amount of stress onto that particular bushing as the lower one no longer has as much play due to it being polyurethane. Possibly leading to early failure.
So, the question is, would it be recommended to also replace that stock upper bushing on the rear link with a polyurethane one when I install this camber kit http://sli.legacycentral.org/FORUM/images/smiles/icon_question.gif
