Subaru BP/BL Rear Sway-bar Reinforcement

[A_J_T 1,632]

Hey Team, 

 

Just realized my MY04 Outback is suffering from the rear swaybar mount weakness issue. Right-hand mount is cracked, all standard gear no aftermarket sway-bar, but i guess being low adds stress. 

 

Does anyone know where to source the reinforcement brackets similar or the same as the Avo ones pictured below?

Ultraracing do an underbody brace combined with the swaybar reinforcement brackets, Pro Wholesale in Tauranga should be able to source you one.

Also Cusco do a kit. Tried both and UR will be my preferred option.

Avoid the Cusco for your situaton where it is already cracked. It doesn't have the additional subframe mount so probably won't help much

For thread reference:  If you have this issue, this is the sucker you want UR-RL2-2588

That's the one I've got, can't fault it besides being flat white and not some fancy blingy colour like every other brand does 😉

@Andy_Mac is this going to fit my 3.0R legacy?

@A_J_T do you have this part available from your outback? Does this get bolted in or welded?

It just bolts on, it's on my wagon currently and it will stay there. My factory swaybar mounts have basically fallen off hence I got this. If I knew they were so weak with a standard swaybar I would have gotten one earlier... so highly recommend getting one for any BP/BL thats not at standard height.

Great to know, I'll shop ultra racing when I'm ready, always knew I'd get new links but the brace would help too. Shot!
