Ash3000k Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Hi all, Unfortunately I have had an MOT and it failed on this rusty bit, and driver side rear shock, Does anyone know what it is? And if so where I can buy a second had replacement? thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 At a guess it's the u shaped bit that runs round the front of newage cars, from wishbone to wishbone, maybe subframe related ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dino Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Maybe ask yourself, if this has happened to yours, then could you be buying a second-hand replacement with the same potential problem? Is this a recall part? Maybe worth checking at a Subaru dealer first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash3000k Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 will try scoob thanks, but its rust and age related to if I find one in good condition and put anti rust stuff on it hopefully will be ok! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyc Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 A lot are failing on this now, however I think you can get an aftermarket alloy part from some quick research, ideally someone needs to start putting these into production in oe style however. However it is a bolt on part, and if they become available there could be a good supply of otherwise decent mot failures going cheap....

peejay Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 This is from a forester manual but I think you are looking at No.29 - subframe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitman Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 @peejay; yep indeed that's the subframe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
