Overview
The Hardrace Hardened Rubber Front Lower Arm Bushing Small is a precision-engineered suspension component designed to replace the factory front lower arm bushings on a wide range of Subaru models. Crafted from high-strength, anti-crack rubber material, this bushing enhances steering response and driving feel by providing a more solid connection between suspension components. It is ideal for Subaru enthusiasts looking to improve handling stability without sacrificing ride comfort or introducing unwanted noise.
Hardrace’s design philosophy centers on durability and performance. By using hardened rubber, these bushings resist deformation and side inclination during high-speed cornering maneuvers, which is a common limitation of OEM rubber bushings.

This product stands out by offering an OEM direct replacement that requires no regular greasing and eliminates squeaks or noise often associated with aftermarket bushings.
For Subaru owners, especially those driving WRX, STI, Forester, Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Crosstrek, BRZ, and GR86 models within the specified years, these bushings provide tangible benefits. Improved steering precision and reduced chassis vibration translate to a more connected and confident driving experience, whether on spirited backroads or daily commutes. The enhanced stability during cornering also contributes to safer handling dynamics, making this a practical upgrade for both street and light performance use.
