cdavidson0 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Hi all, I have a 2003 Forester 2.0 SG I need to replace the rear, inner front control arm bushes on both sides and at least one of the drop links too. (one side can move by hand, the other is unmovable which is correct? Is it best to replace oth anyway?) Whilst doing this I think I might do the sway bar bushes and front inner control arm bushes at the same time so I know it is all ok (and perhaps the ball joint too). Might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb... My problem is finding the correct torque settings for reassembly. Can anybody help please?

Mr B Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 rear control arm bushes are easily removed without much hassle & either come with complete alloy bracket or need pressing into old one once off vehicle. Doing both drop links would be good idea and not expensive but I would leave lower ball joint & front control arm bush if they are in good order.
