Detailed Description

This suspension control arm bushing is designed for Subaru Forester, Crosstrek, Impreza, XV Crosstrek, WRX, WRX STI, Legacy, and Outback applications that use the front lower rearward position. The steel clad rubber design helps provide the structural support and isolation expected from a control arm bushing, while MOOG’s testing and material selection are aimed at consistent performance in daily driving conditions. If you are replacing a worn Subaru Forester front lower rearward bushing or servicing a Subaru Impreza or Outback suspension, K201605 is a direct-fit service part for the listed applications.

This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 523-232 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Clunking or knocking from worn front suspension bushings
• Excessive control arm movement under braking or cornering
• Loose or imprecise front-end feel
• Rubber separation, cracking, or deterioration in the original bushing
• Uneven suspension response at the front lower rearward mount

Installation Notes and Tips

Install K201605 at the front lower rearward control arm position only on the listed Subaru applications. Verify the inside diameter and outside diameter against the original bushing before pressing in the replacement. Because this is a suspension bushing, proper removal and installation tools are recommended to avoid damage to the control arm or new bushing. Confirm vehicle year, model, and suspension position before service.
