Any places around here (south bay) that can be trusted to install GroupN lateral link bushings? How much is this job usually?

 

We can do it if you want to make a trip to Fremont.

 

Took me and Adam at LIC like 8hrs to do on my car... It's not for the weak hearted. I highly recommend you cut the old bushing out in a circle, then cut outward to the edge. The bushing will fall out. Took us a long time to figure the fastest way to get it done.

 

Can you PM me a price for the job? Do you sell the bushings or should I procure them myself?

 

Yeah that's why I don't want to do it myself and want someone experienced to do it.

 

Ummm... Adam is experienced... it's LIC Motorsports!!

it's just my car is special, and was being a ***** that day haha

Usually you can press them out, but don't count on that... some may be stuck in there good, and cutting will be necessary!

 

yea i thought about ordering them, but i think i will wait till tic comes out with theirs with the bushings already installed. id let LIC do the install though

 

Yeah, but their are for sedans first and "maybe next" the wagons. I need wagon links.

Plus I like my aluminum front link (06 WRX)

But if the price comes out about the same, then maybe I'll just buy the TIC's when and if it comes out.

 

It sounds like you are talking about the Trailing Link bushings with the metal sleeve. I did it the same way...cut the bushing out with a sawzall, and then cut outward with the sawzall until I could peel the metal bushing sleeve out with a screwdriver. I replaced them with Super-Pro 2 peice ploy bushings, but eventually had BigSkyWRX press some Group-N bushings in since he has the Subaru tool.

My lateral link bushings came out with ease, but getting the Group-N bushings in was the hard part.

 

+1 on taking it to LIC for the install.
