As an advisorey after a service my bushes are showing signs of age/wear, so an upgrade is due in the future.

It was described to me as the "rear crossbeam bushes", after some research various other names have come up??
1) cross member bushes
2) subframe mounting bushes

Trying to figure out whats what.
Found these for starters, I know they are the huge bushes I need, but have found 2 different sizes 65mm & 33mm, with no age or model for either of them..........they are to be fitted on a Impreza STI 05.
The 65mm's:-

The 33mm's:-

The seller couldn't help on fitment models either.
Whiteline do a "pineapple kit", but that uses the old rubber bushes and sandwiches it with 2 yellow poly washers....not really a fix i dont think, why not make a whole new part??

So I'm after some advise/info on this please
Has anyone upgrade this part? what supplier did you use?

Thanks in advance

 

the pineapple kit is the front diff support bushes,there is a lot of movement in this bush even when its 100% that`s why Ive uprated them to a poly version,
the 2nd link is the Diff carrier bushes(I have a set of these for a classic if required).

 

It's the rear I need.
So have you fitted the pineapple kit with standard rubber bushes?
Or
Replace the lot with new poly ones?

 

replaced the front 2(Pineapple) with poly, the rear diff carrier ones only fit a classic(That I have) so I couldnt fit them so just use a lock down kit on that part,
Fitting poly is easier then replacing standard as you only need to press/cut the old ones out, as the new ones are 2 parts they fit without any real work,
Ive replaced 99% of the bushes with poly and have done on my last few cars.

 

Ive had the outrigger bushes changed on my car, used these parts from powerflex
