Default Wishbones

Going to order some bushes for my new Alloy wishbones.
I have an anti-lift kit to go on as well. Does this do away with the rear front wishbone bushes? (Number 2 in the diagram)
So I need the front front wishbone bushes (Number 1 in the diagram)
Thanks

Yes the Whiteline pro lift kit replaces number2, you'll still want number 1 but don't go for a 'race' style hard ones as the slight twist created by the Whiteline kit will cause too much friction.

Cheers
I am going for the CDF racing hard plastic droplinks but i thought they were number 12 on the diagram.
Do the newage STI anti lift kits fit classics as well?
When I checked the whiteline part it looks like the same part covers both models.

I'm going for the Powerflex polybush

front droplinks are 12, rear 10, powerflex should be OK with the whiteline kit, which I believe is the same for all years, but don't actually KNOW!

Default Wishbone

Just took my scooby to a friend of the family who has run a garage for years and he says that he dont think the knocking is even the wishbone bush.... If i had spent my £450 on this job and it didnt solve the problem I would have been pissed.. and i dont think Subaru would have footed the bill for it either...

He says that I need to replace the front/rear anti roll bar drop links... I have already done the front ones. I think then its just goin over all the bits until i find the broke one!!! Might still be the wishbone but I dont want to fork out £450 if i dont have to!

If i find that if it is the rear bush on the wishbone that has gone then will it work out cheaper to fit an anti lift kit to my Subaru instead of payin the £450 for the new wishbone? I went into a parts shop today and they say you cant get the rear bush on its own and it comes with the wishbone? Hence the steep price at Subaru??

Any suggestions?

Im going to do the anti-roll bar droplinks next week anyways, but if that dont fix it then is this a better option??
