Rear Right Control Arm Rubber Bushing for Subaru Suspension

This rubber-mounted pivot sits in the rear arm on the right side and keeps the wheel located under load. It absorbs road shock, isolates vibration, and holds alignment steady. With a healthy bushing, your car tracks straight, rides quietly, and the tires wear evenly .

Why you need it

It maintains the correct geometry between body and suspension. Under braking, cornering, and bumps, it lets the arm move in a controlled way. This protects the chassis, improves grip, and keeps steering feel precise.

How it works

A metal outer shell is pressed into the arm. Inside, an inner sleeve is bonded to a durable rubber compound. The rubber twists slightly during suspension travel, acting like a small spring and damper . This micro-movement filters noise and holds caster, camber, and toe in spec.

What happens if it fails

Clunks over bumps, rear-end wiggle, steering wander, and uneven tire wear appear. Braking can feel unstable, and ESP/ABS may intervene early. Cracked or oil-soaked rubber, off-center sleeve, and shiny metal dust are red flags ⚠️.

Replacement tips

Press-fit part: use proper tools and support the arm. Torque bolts at ride height to avoid pre-load. An alignment after install is recommended ✅. For balanced handling, replace in axle pairs.
