Product Details
This Whiteline Sway Bar Link Bushing Kit fits the 1998-2008 Subaru Forester. You receive 4 bushings and 4 tubes. Whiteline's note for this fit: Bushing Service Kit to Whiteline KLC26 or KLC32 fixed endlinks. Order it as part number W0008.
A sway bar link has a bushing at each end where it connects to the bar and the suspension, and those bushings let the link pivot. When they are soft or worn, the bar takes up slack before it begins resisting body roll, which feels like a delay in turn-in and shows up as clunking. Replacing them restores a firm connection. The polyurethane used here deflects much less than the original rubber under the same load.
Installation is rated moderate, with about 1 hour of work listed. No alignment is needed afterward. Working on the same car? We also list Rear Sway Bar Link, 14mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts, and Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit for the Forester.
Features
- Self-lubricating: The bushing carries its own grease supply in internal reservoirs, so it keeps moving freely.
- Bushing material: Polyurethane bushings flex far less than rubber ones.
- Install guide: Whiteline packs an install guide with it.
- Bushing compound: Oil, grease, ozone, and weather do not break down the synthetic elastomer used in the bushings.
