Daskuppler Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Hello Everyone, I drive a 14 Forester NA and one of the front control arm bushings completely failed. I don't have a press but I could pull the arm and have a shop do it or buy an assembled unit. Subaru doesn't sell just the bushing so I would have to go aftermarket. Is it worth it? Are there better front control arms then OEM? Cheers, Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 This isn’t the one you need?: 20204AG011 https://parts.subaru.com/p/Subaru_2014_Forester/Suspension-Control-Arm-Bushing-Front--Rear/49229111/20204AG011.html https://parts.subaru.com/a/Subaru_2014_Forester/94606990__6025310/FRONT-SUSPENSION--16MY1604/S13-200-01.html Superpro has some subaru bushings. You can also make your own with urethane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 maybe Mevotech? I have read of folks using the brand on older soobs but, most recommend dumping the ball joint that comes installed for a Subaru balljoint. that's all I can offer.

I ended up just getting the OEM assembled unit. now the alignment shop is arguing with me saying they can't get it in spec because something is bent. It was fine with the old control arm, it should only be better now haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
