Turn In Concepts Lateral Link Bushings – 2002-2007 Subaru Impreza, WRX & STi

$229.78

Finally here, we introduce these sweet lateral link bushings from Turn in Concepts.  These are an amazing upgrade over stock, no longer is it necessary to press in new bushings into your control arms or worry about lubrication!

If you’re of the performance minded persuasion then the suspension is one of those things you want to address.

One of the things that you’re going to want address is the bushings.  Why?  Well, soft bushings lead to a nice cushy ride, BUT also allows things to shift and move when placed under load.  That imprecision and shifting is exactly what the performance minded of us don’t want.

So, you need to upgrade your bushings.  Easily said, but in reality can be a TOTAL PITA.  So, in TiC fashion they decided to address this and came up with a bushing that’s really easy to install.

How?  Well, they did a split bushing design.  Now you can push the bushing halves in by hand.  Ok.  I’ll admit you need something like a vise or c-clamp or even a dead blow hammer to push in the crush tube, but at least you won’t need a 20 ton press and a whole mess of press tools.

Now, ease of installation is always a nice thing to have, but we took it further.  See, they have a problem with crossing the line.

So, in addition to ease of installation here’s what they did:

Bushing!  The bushings themselves are made from medical grade urethane and are Shore 95A hardness (that’s pretty stiff).  On top of that they had them impregnated with graphite so they are self lubricating.  Now I wouldn’t go so far as to call them maintenance free, but I can say they are maintenance reduced.  After all, how many of us actually take apart our cars to re-grease the bushings once a year.  I’ll bet you don’t, and this way you won’t have to feel so guilty.

So, here’s what we have so far:

  • Easy install
  • Great material
  • Nice and stiff to cut down on wiggle
  • Self lubricating

Most would call it quits at that, but since TiC was on a roll they decided to push it just a little bit more.

The crush tubes!  There’s really not much glamorous when it comes to crush tubes, but they were out to set a new standard on these.  Instead of just some metal tube that’s cut to length and then (sometimes) zinc plated they stepped up and made them even better.  Machined from solid stock these STAINLESS STEEL crush tubes feature chamfered outer edges to help with the install, they broke the hard inside edge to keep things from rubbing or cutting or wearing funny, and they had the inside reamed smooth for ease of motion while in operation.

So now our list grows to this:

  • Easy install
  • Great material
  • Nice and stiff to cut down on wiggle
  • Self lubricating
  • Stainless crush tube
  • Machined for easy install and longevity
  • Smooth for best operation

Now, we’re wholly aware of the prices of the other offerings on the market.  If you’re not aware of them go take a look.  You’ll see ours are a little more expensive.  Yep,  I’m not going to argue that.  Plain and simple they are worth it.  Now, ask yourself, is your car’s performance worth it?  Those of the performance minded persuasion will think so.
