Overview
The Hardrace Rear Reinforced Stabilizer Bushing is a direct OEM replacement designed to enhance the rear suspension performance of select Subaru Legacy, Outback, WRX, STI, and Forester models. Crafted to replace the factory bushings, this 19mm rear stabilizer bushing improves handling precision, stability during high-speed driving, and cornering response. It is ideal for Subaru enthusiasts seeking a durable upgrade that maintains factory fitment while delivering noticeable improvements in chassis control.
Unlike traditional polyurethane bushings that can degrade or break under stress, Hardrace utilizes a state-of-the-art thermoplastic material engineered for superior resilience. This material offers excellent resistance to oil, alkali, and ozone exposure, ensuring long-lasting performance without the common issues of premature wear or cracking. The self-lubricating properties reduce friction and noise, contributing to a smoother and more responsive suspension feel.
For Subaru owners, this reinforced stabilizer bushing translates into a firmer rear sway bar connection, resulting in improved stability during aggressive cornering and enhanced overall vehicle balance. The solid response from the rear suspension helps maintain composure on winding roads and during spirited driving, making it a practical upgrade for both daily driving and performance applications.
