Rockbolt Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Today I noticed that the rear suspension bushing (the fluid filled one) on one of my front suspension arms is leaking on my 2001 H6 Outback. Since I have no prior experience with fluid filled bushings, my question is, how urgent is it that I replace it? Is there a safety issue? A tire wear issue? Has anybody replaced one of these before? Can I replace it without tearing apart the whole front suspension? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subie Gal Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 you're going to have to remove the control arm to replace the transverse link bushing urgent? no will it affect handing? yes (will will have more flex side to side, forward back as the bushing is blown) so put it on the list of things to do - but again, it's not an urgent deal Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
