I am looking at replacing my rear trailer arm bushes for the polybush ones has anyone got any links to them as I carnt seem to find any

Just get impreza ones of the same year mate,

Whitleine, super pro and powerflex all do them. Think at lezst one does whole kit for two hundred notes, both trailing arms front and rear, new trailing arm to hub bolts and top caber bolts with bushes for the top

SuperPro do the bushes to but prices generally high

 

Another company I have recently used was StrongFlex

http://www.strongflex.eu/en/245-subaru-forester-sf-97-02

they do different hardness (shore grade) bushings, they in Poland & do full range for SF forester prices are sensible. You can find them on eBay but they not listing trailing arm bushes but might be worth contacting seller & see if can ... >

Quick question what the hell is the rear tie bar another name for droplink ?

^ Lateral link or trailing arm in this case, think it down to Polish translation :-S

Tie bar is actually a bar that ties left & right lateral links or wishbones together via subframe bush bolt or close to the bushing mount.

Its the 271151b im after.So im looking at roughly £16 a side

Actually better than that, prices are euro by default, if select GBP-£ currency they are £10.22 each, 3to5day airmail shipping £4.11

Used them for rear 'front' trailing arm & front 'front' wishbone bushes, prices are good & bushes equal to others I have seen with same 2 part with metal centre pin design.

Have PayPal on the ste too so easy to purchase ...

Gonna order some later on mine look weak

Just had a proper look and it looks like I need the ones that go in the hub and the front trailing arm.Im assuming there the same part numbers

Edit:there not the same part numbers

you want 271149 then ?

They £8.43 each

Want check long bolt will come out as sometimes they seized solid & you need both lateral link bushes & new bolt as need cut the bolt both ends.

Have had one that had hub in tub of duck oil for 2 days then left in press with 15tonne pressure on saturday afternoon & had moved bolt shaft by monday morning, most not that bad though ...

Cheers for clearing that up, thought I was going mad,

For that price rick may as well do the lot save taking it all apart twice

I will take a picture of what im after

Here we go

£43 with shipping just ordered them

That pic is trailing arm front bush - 271152

they £15.78 each

You get any others ?

Just ordered them for now only because there knackered.I can see what there like then.I will have to set fire to my old bushes

Haha passed my local wiko motorsave the other day two guys had the entire subframe in the car park and were torching the bushes loads of flames everwhere made me laugh.
