Has anyone replaced the bushings in these? I dont really like urathane bushings so I would replace them with stock rubber. When I price them out I find the they are only 5 bucks apeice for one arm but like 20 or more apeice for the other. It's almost worth buying a new arm with the bushings installed for that price. Does anyone know if the bushings are all the same size? could I use the cheaper ones all the way around? They look pretty close exept for the more expensive ones have a bit of a flange.

Turn in concepts makes a nice set of graphic impregnated urethane bushings that are super easy to install and are rather maintenance free.
Otherwise, get the OEM or group N (Subaru's OEM homologated rally parts with stiffer rubber) pieces. There's a writeup somewhere on NASIOC. They tend to rip when being installed the first time, so it's often recommended to practice installing the old ones back in before using the new ones.
The size of the steel sleeve is also different between the forward and rearward lateral links.

Thanks Mechie I will check them out. I was just checking out your posted info on the short shifter mod, looks great. So it is a Scion shifter?

I think it's technically a TRD shifter that comes stock in the Scion TC and as options on other models.

Mechie, it's not the TRD quickshifter. The TRD unit is much shorter, as far as I can tell its just the std oem TC shifter.
I ordered mine short throw for a 2004-2010 Scion TC and it fit like a champ.
There are a lot of short throws for the TC so figure out what you want. I posted a comparison on one of the other threads.
