Hardrace Hardened Rubber Rear Trailing Arm Bushing 2006-2018 | High Strength Rubber | Rear Suspension Bushing
Overview
The Hardrace Hardened Rubber Rear Trailing Arm Bushing is designed to enhance the rear suspension performance of various Subaru models from 2004 through 2018, including the Forester, Legacy, WRX, and STI. This bushing replaces the factory unit with a hardened rubber compound engineered to provide a more solid steering response and improved driving feel without sacrificing comfort. It is ideal for Subaru enthusiasts seeking to reduce unwanted suspension movement and increase stability during spirited driving or daily use.
Crafted from a high-strength, anti-crack rubber material, this bushing balances durability with compliance. Unlike polyurethane alternatives, the hardened rubber construction resists side inclination during high-speed cornering while minimizing noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH). The design philosophy focuses on delivering a direct OEM replacement that improves suspension feedback and longevity without requiring frequent maintenance or greasing.
For Subaru owners, this rear trailing arm bushing upgrade translates to enhanced rear-end stability and sharper steering response, especially noticeable during aggressive maneuvers or uneven road surfaces. By reducing unwanted suspension deflection and vibration, it helps maintain precise wheel alignment and improves overall vehicle control, making it a practical upgrade for both street and light performance driving.
