odie Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 got my Brat inspected and legal...so now to start fixing all the "other" issues... the pitch rod has no bushings...I can't seem to find them at autozone or even ebay (they usually have everything)... Is there a quick easy substitute somewhere? Maybe something you can scrounge at Home Depot or something? It seems any kinda round bushing could be made to work...

ivans imports Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 dealer item I got them new for my 80 brat so still avalibble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odie Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 hmmm, the dealer here couldn't even pull up anything older than a Loyale... Brats, GLs, DLs, etc are not even in their database... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odie Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 could this also be called the "engine stabilizer bushing" or "torque strut bushing"? I found a part # "A6726" but is kinda looks like a control arm bushing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a part # "A6726" but is kinda looks like a control arm bushing. Good chance it is called the "engine stabilizer bushing" The Subaru dealer i get parts from has it as well and has no problem finding parts for my 88 GL. OP - you should contact another dealer, surely there is one around that can get you parts for your Brat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odie Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 not within 150 miles...for some reason the local dealer can't pull up anything older than a Loyale in their database. For Brats and older GL & DL cars I gotta bring them a part number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivans imports Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 read that wrong thought you were talking about strut rod on control arm The pich stopper can just use any neoprene flat bushing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odie Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) The local deal ran my VIN and it comes up "invalid"...seems their database was purged of anything 80's or earlier... anyway, went to Lowes... all fixed for about $5 Edited January 27, 2014 by odie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
