Detailed Description
The GS801142 is engineered as an exact-match replacement for the original suspension control arm assembly on the Subaru Impreza.

Installation Notes and Tips
Verify vehicle year, model, and front left lower position before ordering. Inspect adjacent suspension components, fasteners, and alignment settings during replacement. Because this assembly is non-adjustable, final alignment should be checked after installation to confirm proper suspension geometry on the Subaru Impreza.
