Subaru Front Strut/Tension/Leading Rod Bushings

A set of 4 Strut Rod bushings. Sometimes referred to as leading rod, tension rod or radius rod bushings.

The strut rods keep the front lower control arms from moving forward and back during acceleration and braking. With old bushings, the control arm is able to move excessively which causes bad handling characteristics due to the front wheel alignment changing at every bump and torque change.

1 set needed per car

 Made of 70A shore hardness polyurethane rubber. More durable than and crack resistant than OEM rubber. Although 70A polyurethane is still flexible, it is slightly more firm than the factory rubber. Although this will result in sharper/better handling, it can also cause a slight increase in vibration transfer.

Lubricating grease is supplied with all bushing orders. All contact surfaces of the new bushings and steel sleeves should be thoroughly lubricated before installation for easier installation, smooth/quiet operation and long bushing life.

Due to the several custom options, nearly all items are made to order. Therefore, there could be up to a 10 business day production time on some orders before they ship.

Please message me if you have any questions about this item fitting your specific vehicle or for any other questions.

Color Disclaimer. The formulation of polyurethane that I use to make bushings is chosen because of its high physical strength properties. An unfortunate downside of this type of polyurethane is that it can darken or discolor over time. Especially if it is exposed to UV light. This discoloration has no affect on physical properties but it only aesthetic. I highly recomend not leaving the bushings exposed to sunlight before they are installed. Obviously once installed, sunlight exposure isn't much of an issue but darkening may still occur over time.
