Well at 190k Jennifer has killed the rear bushings in her WRX!

Who makes aftermarket urethane or better bushings for the radius rods, and more then likely the H cradle and diff mount as well

Ill know more tonight as i have a general inspection to do on the car!

Have to pay for my advertising somehow ;)

thanks all

The benefit of getting the Powerflex is that the rear trailing arm / knuckle bushing is a pain to push in and the Proflex bushing comes in two separate pieces for easy install. You can Google vendors for Powerflex but I got mine locally at Fourstar as they usually have stock of most all the fitments. My STi and Smokey both have a fair amount of Powerflex bushings in them and I have no complaints.

Group N ... Fourstar locally or Rallispec from the U.S.

Rallispec also used to have some "PINK" trailing arms that had beefier bushings installed. Dan might have it somewhere. That's what I have on the STi.


You could also try JRP to see what they have for the WRX, but it might not be in stock. I think they carry Energy Suspension.

Powerflex is pretty much the only aftermarket company that I found that sells the FRONT front control arm bushing.

Lucky #7 :)

The energy kits come with front complete, both control arm position,

Not to happy with them a they squeak a lot, would be a real pita if she had to pay to have them lubed every 30k
and if you don't mind changing sway bar bushings every 20k

and they don't offer a version with grease fittings and channels.

Give and Take right :)

K she needs 7, 8, 11 and the rear cradle to body bushings but there not listed.
