Rear Lateral Link Inner & Outer Bushing Kit

The Whiteline WHLW61382A is a comprehensive kit for rebuilding the rear lateral links on specific Subaru models, including the GD WRX, STI, and SF/SG Forester generations. Over time and with performance use, the inner and outer bushings on these links can wear, leading to imprecise rear axle behavior, such as inconsistent camber and toe under load. This kit directly replaces both the inner and outer bushing positions on the rear lateral links. This results in a more stable and predictable rear end, improving handling dynamics and driver confidence. The kit provides matched polyurethane replacements, ensuring a complete and effective rebuild of the lateral link system. Whiteline, an Australian company with a history dating back to 1979, specializes in developing suspension components aimed at measurable improvements in handling, stability, and tire contact. Their products, including these polyurethane bushings, are designed using advanced engineering principles and validated through track testing, offering direct-fit, bolt-on solutions for enthusiasts seeking enhanced performance without complex modifications. The RallySport Take highlights this kit as a direct way to improve rear axle lateral stability on classic Subaru platforms. Installation is recommended to be done by a qualified mechanic, requiring correct press tools and a clean technique. Applying grease to polyurethane-to-metal interfaces and assembling at ride height are crucial steps for optimal performance and longevity. The immediate improvement in chassis feel and the extended lifespan of polyurethane compared to rubber are key benefits.
