Found this front stabilizer bushing in bad shape yesterday while searching for the cause of a strange noise. Can I just leave it alone for now, or is this something that should be taken care of pronto?

The left side looks fine. These parts were just put in this past March, bums me out. It looks like the replacement work wouldnt be too hard, just dont have too much time on my hands right now.

 

They're about 20 bucks, and take less than 15 min to change...I'd just throw in a new link/bushing

 

Go to idiotzone,get Energy Suspension bushings,replace,drive happy..

 

Yeah cant wait to get to it, its only 100F outside.

 

it's fine til you got the time.

 

Thats perfect, you dont gotta torch is

 

Do yourself a favor and start spraying it with PB Blaster or Liquid Wrench now. It's probably gonna be a little reluctant to come out.

If you aren't hearing any clunks when you drive over bumps or rough pavement, then it's probably not an issue at all. I have that problem on my WRX right now...

 

It was just installed in March, so I dont think it will be too hard to pull apart. All the dirt there is due to main seal oil leaks and not age, those are getting fixed soon. Other than that, the suspension parts are all fairly clean.

I do have some noise, but not on that side. I'm not sure if it is still there, as my test drive lasted only a few dozen feet after I put it all together. The whole reason I was looking around was to find why I had the noise.

 

were can you buy a link bushing pin, the bolt that connects to the control arm. ive looked all over and cant find any.

 

Dealership.....

 

what is the size of the stabilizer bar bushing from Energy Suspension?
