TbSTI rear link arms

Postby slo » Sat Aug 19, 2023 4:03 pm

Has anyone installed both the tbsti type (pillow ball bushing) rear lateral link arms? Was there any noticeable difference in ride and nvh?

All my rear suspension bushes are shot and rather than replace each bush i just got all the tbsti gear with the alloy arms and knuckles to swap in. I didn't consider the nvh until I noticed the below note on noise from Subaru

Running frequent interstate trips I have already added deadening to quieten things down, I figure it can't make too much difference as the sub frame is still rubber damped but I might not bother with the lateral arms and just replace the oem rubber bushes if it's too noticeable

I haven’t noticed any difference, but they do get noisy when the pillow balls inevitably wear out.
Mine are creaking so it’s time to get the spare set in or upgrade to hardrace bushes and or get adjustable rear lateral arms.
