anyone an idea where ican get this bolt cheap,the large bolt that ends up a pain in the butt,when replacing lateral link bar bushes,any help appreciated,going to have to cut old ones out corroded to hub.

 

No end of people ask where to get Subaru parts.... The answer is always Subaru. Unless you want to risk a rusted old one on ebay (they all rust) or go to somewhere like ICP who will probably do it a couple of quid cheaper then Subaru as they buy from them in bulk/with discount. But it's a subaru only part like most things. So will cost about £20 or more each no matter where you go. A full set of suspension bolts from a UK Subaru dealer is about £300-£350! I just brought mine from Germany which worked out about 10% cheaper all in.

Also they don't usually corode to the hub. The plating on the bolt wears out and the metal of the bolt rusts. This then makes the bolt shaft too big to knock through the old bush sleeves. A lot of sanding around the exposed parts can sometimes free them up as well as a load of brute force... but it's a bitch of a job if your unlucky.

 

cheers fmj,yes finding they are a bitch,gonna cut them out,not moving at all,thanks for your help again
