strut bushing part numbers

Featured Replies

XT or XT6 rear top air strut bushing part numbers.

 

I'm not finding them online, anyone?

If it is the same part you are looking for, according to my 1986 parts catalog the number is 21029 GA030 I hope that helps, Abe

P.S. If it would help I could scan the page and e-mail it to you.

The air struts and non-air struts have different part numbers. Was this an air strut?

 

*** Edit *** Looks like this is a non-air suspension part number. I can't seem to find the air suspension numbers.

 

Thanks for checking abe!

Okay, the Subaru sites all say "Excluding air suspension" and the ones I had at home I *thought* looked slightly different. Though it does seem dumb to design them completely different from a manufacturing stand point.

 

But the only parts listing we have at Subaruxt.com does seem to *suggest* (but it isn't specific - it doesn't differentiate non-air and air, only lists one set of part numbers, but *shows* an air strut in the picture, but doesn't show any bushings - though they are in the "price list".

 

sound confusing? it is! it *suggests* they are:

 

21029GA020

21029GA030

Hey Gary,

You should have an e-mail with a couple of scans. My addiction continues, I'm picking up another XT6 Friday. Abe

I called and it looks like those numbers that Abe posted are correct for the air suspension. I'll have them by next week.

 

thanks abe.

Those part numbers are for the non-air suspension bushings and Subaru didn't even get it right. They came into today and were wrong.

 

Did some digging and came up with these which should hopefully be right:

 

Rear air strut top mount upper bushing: 21047GA870

Rear air strut top mount lower bushing: 21029GA050

Ah shoot Gary, I've been rather busy lately and forgot to see if I had those :-\

Sorry about that.

no sweat, since Subaru couldn't figure it out and half their information appears wrong, i'm glad you didn't waste your time!:lol:

Hi,

I have an xt parts catalog , the upper shows: till 12-86= 21029ga030,

after 1-87= 21047ga870.

the lower shows: 21029ga020.

Hope this helps some.

I realize no one will probably ever need these but I'll post since it was such a pain. Finally the real answer now that I have these crackers in hand.

 

21047GA870 is actually a kit - it includes both bushings on the top for the rear air struts. And it's only $3.48 for both bushings?!

 

The other part number "lower" listed above is actually not either one, it's the very bottom bushing where the strut bolts to the control arm/hub assembly.

 

That lower bushing which attaches to the control arm/hub assembly would be the same for all struts, coil over or air suspension.
