Hardrace Pillow Ball Front Lower Arm Rear Bushing Big 2009-2014 Legacy/Outback | Precision Control | Suspension Bushing Upgrade
Overview
The Hardrace Pillow Ball Front Lower Arm Rear Bushing Big is a high-performance suspension upgrade designed specifically for the 2005-2009 Subaru Legacy, 2009-2014 Outback, and 2010-2014 Legacy models. This bushing replaces the factory rubber component with a precision-engineered pillow ball joint, delivering enhanced driver feedback and more direct suspension response. It is ideal for Subaru enthusiasts seeking improved handling and a firmer, more connected feel from their front suspension.
Engineered with a high molecule plastic inner tube and a specialized metal alloy outer shell, this bushing offers exceptional strength and durability.
