Detailed Description

Built for the front lower forward control arm position, Mevotech GS80428 helps restore the bushing interface that supports suspension movement and alignment stability. The natural rubber material is selected for flexibility and vibration control, while the press-in design matches the service requirements of the original suspension location. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products K201604 and Dorman - OE Solutions 523-233 for the same application. Mevotech GS80428 is a practical replacement choice for Subaru Legacy and Subaru Outback owners servicing worn front suspension bushings.

What It Helps Address

• Clunking or knocking from worn front suspension bushings
• Excessive control arm movement under braking or cornering
• Steering looseness caused by deteriorated rubber bushings
• Uneven tire wear related to suspension bushing wear
• Alignment instability after bushing degradation

Installation Notes and Tips

Install in the front lower forward control arm position only. Because this is a press-in bushing, proper removal and installation tools are required to service the control arm correctly. Inspect the surrounding control arm components and alignment settings during replacement to confirm the repair addresses the source of suspension wear.

Quality Assurance

Mevotech GS80428 is manufactured as an OE-style suspension replacement with application-specific dimensions for the listed Subaru Legacy and Subaru Outback models. Verify vehicle year, model, and front lower forward position before installation.
