Gave up on poly bushes eventually! After loads of phone calls around Subaru specialists and the like it seems nobody stocked correct size and shape for this model. (23mm diameter front anti roll bar and 17mm rear according to my calipers!)
Just not enough of them around it seems.
If you have an Impreza the worlds your lobster though!
You can get a complete new anti- way bar front and rear and bushes for £300+ but still tread carefully as to which model it is designated to when it comes to the Legacy MK V estate. Even local Subaru dealer confessed to having to be very careful with model designations..apparently Subaru have swapped names of Outlander/Legacy/ Legacy Outback/ Legacy Outback Station Wagon..and any other permutation you can think of over the years
Even Forester gets a look in depending on some sites selling parts.........Need VIN number every time and that seems beyond most after market specialists. Ended up buying OEM rubber Bushes from Subaru garage, £31 for front and rear so not totally a rip off. However taking old ones off and comparing diameter of bushes the old ones had definitely worn to an extra 1-2 mm wide. Just awaiting wheels back from refurbisher and I will know if front end "looseness" over rough tarmac has been cured (yes I did do the sway bar linkages when first noticed problem but that didn't stop issue, also checked all linkages and suspension bushes which still seem all fine as are Shocks also.)

Damn.........................poly bushes too small!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do not compress fully around the ARB when clamps bolted up, leaving a gap in bush. Reckon I need to use some calipers to determine diameter of Anti Roll Bar then go make enquiries on web. anybody any thoughts or recommendation of suppliers?

Try these guys they are pretty good. Matched up my White Satin finish perfectly on several panels and front and rear bumpers. http://www.chipex.co.uk/

SuperPro Poly 20mm Front ARB Car Anti Roll / Sway Bar Inner Bush Kit SPF3096-20K (Fits: More than one vehicle) Found these on ebay if any interest? Poly bushes. they say they will fit my motor and chart backs it up.....

Thanks. ordered drop links from import parts as they stated defo for Legacy of my year. Still struggling on sway bar bushes though. whiteline are USA based and again model derivations unclear...seems lot of confusion between Outback & Legacy as specific models or are the parts interchangeable?????? Think I need to measure diameter of roll bar and look for appropriately sized bushes as opposed to model specific ones....ball joints look pretty much available anywhere.. Cheers for the help.

2010 Legacy Mkv Estate. 2.0 Diesel. on 53k Front end gone a bit rattly on uneven surfaces. Quick look seems anti roll bar bushes seem a bit "rubbery" and would like to replace with poly bush, also do Drop links at same and probably track rod ball joints. Not planing to do wishbone bushes unless are completely shot! However scouting around web for the parts I am utterly confused by descriptions of suppliers as they keep coming up with Legacy/Outback/Forester for parts and often no mention of model or nothing for 2010 models onward. Also some prices when find an apparent part, are galactic to the point of stupidity (£99.99 for drop links!!! Come on). Anybody out here know a good supplier on net or if in Oxfordshire/Wilts/Berks to go and collect? Thanks in anticipation. M80KMB

For a big old bus of an estate car its got some shove but its the roadholding that does it for me. Wait till I chip it! ( did my old "Mafia Staff car" Santa Fe and that didn't hang around)
