Control arm swap?

Featured Replies

Does anyone know if there are interchangeable control arms between subaru models? Id like to have beefier sway bar/ links on my 96 legacy but im not sure how to make it happen. Or mabey anyone know of any good options for sway bar mounts that might drop it abit to comp for the lift i have? I cant seem to find much out there. Alot of people just pull the sway bar but i mainly drive on road since its my daily comuter so i like the stability. Any insight is appricated. Thank you.

Many of the front control arms are the same.  www.car-part.com is a great source for interchange info.

A good sway bar and links.. mounting bushings will be an improvement if you have worn parts.

if the car has original struts, they are certainly worn-out by now. If the car has had some period in its life where it was loaded heavily, it may need new springs as well.Those togther could make a very noticeable improvement. Or , slightly stiffer springs on new struts. Less sway, less squat and dive too.

Maybe adjustable end links would solve your difficulty? I'm pretty sure Primitive Racing sells some. Moog does also, I believe.

Thanks for the responses. Im going to play around with both stock parts and adjustable aftermarket parts. Ill post some results when possible. 

Other control arms can be used, although the inner bushing is different, which poses problems with the stock crossmember.

 

That said, those other control arms wouldn't change anything with the sway bar mounts....
