Detailed Description

Dorman 542-475 is a suspension stabilizer bar link kit engineered for rear suspension service on 2009-2018 Subaru Forester, 2010-2024 Subaru Outback, 2013-2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek, 2013-2016 Subaru XV, and 2016-2017 Subaru Crosstrek.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear fitment by year, model, and position before installation. This part is listed for the rear position only. Inspect the sway bar, mounting points, and adjacent suspension components for wear before installing the new link. Because the design is greaseable, follow the vehicle service procedure for lubrication after installation.
