Hi guys, I'm a newly converted Subaru owner, and so far things are great!!!
I have a 92 lib wagon $1100. It has been savagely cleaned and improved this weeks with parts from another donor lib wagon (rear springs and struts) RS bonnet, new front left panel, mags, RS steering wheel... its coming along... not the same car that i brought home a fortnight ago. Also replaced the hemorrhaging rocker cover gaskets and a few other seals. WOW, no more smoke from oil on the exhaust... simple fixes that i dont know why people dont bother with.

anyway, to the point. Im wondering if anyone knows of a good supplier of nylon bushes for the front and rear IRS systems for a 92 lib?? online suppliers preferably, but ebay seems a bit of a rip, and not all that much to offer..
what should i be paying for a set of bushes???

id appreciate any advice.
cheers.

G'day Cowboy, welcome to AUSubaru

Congrats on your new Lib, sounds like your really looking after her...

For your bushes, you could go Nolathane, firms up the ride a little & improves the handling by taking the slop out of rubber bushes, esp if they're worn. I'm guessing you can get them from any auto shop

Yep, this would be a good place to start. And as Nachaluva says, they're available from any auto shop

These bushes come in two types - the two piece that are halves, you knock out the old rubber from your current bushes and insert these halves and the tube that comes with them and you're done.
The other type are direct replacements - these have the steel outer casing and will require more effort to get them in. A press is the go with these - and you MUST get the old casing out before you can fit these ones. I went with the half pieces as above in the rear of my L series - that was about 3 years ago and all is well still
