bmx045 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Did subaru change the LCA in 05-09? (non spec-b) I looked on opposed forces and am finding conflicting information between them and fredbeans and trademotion. Reason being, I'm able to acquire 05 LGT LCA's with avo bushings for a decent price, not sure if fitment is askew for my 08 model year. Your help in this matter would be quite appreciated. Thank you for your time, and have a good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Call Fred Beans and ask them. I would say they are the same part. May Be subaru figured out to put better bushings in the later years. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

ericem Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 It is the same part what changed is the cutouts in the control arms in later years. I guess for water to escape better and possibly slightly stronger either way 05-09 bolts in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx045 Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 I do see that the triangle plate has changed, not sure about the lca itself, or if there will be a conflict in fitment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericem Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Bushing might have been better I installed two new complete control arms and comparing my old to new they changed the cutouts like i said bushing looked similar could still be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx045 Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 i do believe subaru altered the oem bushing at some point, but that's a moot point. aftermarket bushings are 05-09 anyway for fitment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, why improve a marginal design that works for a while. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.
