moshe_levy Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 HelloMy car is forester 2008 xt 4eat.I bought my car 2 years ago and been to the usa at that time so i purchas there front and rear end links and lower ball joints. Now it has been ayear and half and one ball joint failed and the two front end links failed, all of the place full with grease. Is there any reason for that, should i buy now only oem parts?

Mr B Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 probably because that earlier model bushed drop links (up to 2002) and your SG uses jointed drop links . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moshe_levy Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 I have a problem with the whiteline end links after installed and lowering with tein coils.Sims to me that the end links both side touching the tie rod.Like they made some rooling to the front of the car and now it is rubing against the tie rod.What did i do wrong?Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 @moshe_levy What year is your car ? As they changed the drop link shape from the ones you have to a lolly pop shape, The the ones you have are for the sf model , i'm not sure if they changed them on the sg or sh model to Lolly pop ones Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr B Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Yes but not very well. I had a customer who done a sg with the oem links from early subarus same as whiteline and they align at poor angle plus length differs so swaybar max/min travel positions differ ...Customers sg went back to ball jointed ...
