L series shifter bushings

Post by Gannon » Mon Aug 15, 2011 8:21 pm

I did a search, but only came up with MY stuff.

Before I finish shortening the shifter linkages to go in the RX (with Liberty dual range box) and decided to tighten up the bushes while Im at it.

For those that have done it, where did you get the bushes? I was thinking of dropping into the local auto parts store and have a rattle through his box of rubber bushes to find some matches.

If I succeed, I'll post up my results.

They are still available from Subaru. I'm 99% sure they use the same as the Impreza but Andy (frog) should be able to help out here?

He would certainly be my first port of call for something like this!

Good thing this was bumped up, I got the bushes in the mail today. BIG thanks to Frog for getting me the parts.

I'll install the bushes tomorrow and take more pictures. I'll also get the calipers out and measure those tubes for you Jon

The deck nails are on my to-do list, I ripped a sock on one the other day

Ok, the tube is 36mm long, 11mm outside diameter and 8mm inside diameter

I have another linkage kicking around somewhere, if I have spare tubes, would you like them?
