Legacy BPE Suspension Part

[donaldjboyer]

Hi,

 

Legacy 2005 BPE

 

Can you please help me identify this part on the suspension of my Legacy? Is it the Sway bar bush?

 

Can I replace this myself?

Yeah they're your sway bar D bushes and yeah you can replace them yourself, literally unbolt the saddle and the bush has a slot in them so they just slip off. Measure your sway bar and go to your local repco, supercheap or BNT store, they'll give you the part you need. Looking at the pic there is a '20' on one of the bushes so i'd imagine its a 20mm bar, but always measure them just in case.

Zeus nailed it. Consider going to a Nolathane bush, although they can be a bit squeaky, especially if they dry out.

 

As a side note, these can be an easier job if the car is on the ground, or at least has the wheels supported.

Nolathane now do greasefree bushes, they're a great improvement on that. Most places should do OE rubber replacements for a fraction of the cost too
