ICE7 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Hey guys...i need some help in locating this small arm located on my Rear Left suspension. This arm is connected to a plate...which has a sensor and a cable or a harness connected to same. I am not sure what it is for...but I'm getting some vibration from it and as such i would like to replace the arm. Any idea on where i can get the arm as on the attachment. 2010 Subaru Legacy BM9-010471 VIN 2.5GT non CVT but it is an Automatic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aphex28 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) It looks like thats your headlight adjuster arm thingy. Do you have HID headlights? That came stock? This arm adjusts how high your headlights are aiming depending on how much weight is in the back of the car. Can you circle the part that is broken?

Aphex28 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 So. I found it on a current Gen WRX, I can't find it on the legacy since I don't think we ever got HID's here. https://parts.bestbuysubaru.com/p/Subaru_2015_WRX-20L-6MT-Limited/Headlight-Level-Sensor-Rear-Sensor-Head-Lamp-Leveler/49294323/84031FG000.html 84031FG000 I can't say for sure that it is the same, but I do know the control arm is the same part number.

I believe you may be right...however nothing is broken...but the same said arm needs to be replaced...and i can't seem to find out where i can order this arm.

Ohhh and yes the car came with a stock HID kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pal...thanks a mill for the assistance. I was busting my brains looking for this part...and it seems like only the Euro Spec of the BM9's got this.

ssulb Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Interesting, I didn't know this was even an option on the 5th gen. Seems like a neat feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brunzo Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 This is height leveling sensor with the arm for HID automatic leveling, i have it on my car: this one is front, there is similar on the back. If you want to change the arm - i advise you to make a custom one, like i did for the broken one on my Lexus: the joints can be purchased cheap on aliexpress (search for SQ6RS) or similar resources, you'll need some M6 thread nuts and M6 pin which you can shorten based on your arm length. Nuts and pin can be purchased in hardware stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
