So looking into lateral link bushings, I need to press in some FWD toe bushings into my STi lateral links. Looking up the OEM part number, 20251AA031, I saw a red bushing that caught my eye. It’s a polyurethane bushing made by a Russian company. www.polyurethan.ru
I used Google to translate and read, confirming the bushing is a replacement part for the OEM bushing. It was also cheap, $11.xx each depending on the exchange rate, about the same price as the OEM ones.
So I ordered some OEM ones, and took a stab at emailing the contact email on their site.
I received a reply! They told me they do ship to the USA, and will accept paypal. Regular post shipping was $11, so, $34 out the door for 2 mystery bushings! Are they good? We shall see… they ship Monday I was told.
Nice if they don't work let me know. The guy I know can fabricate them.
Also did you get your drum to disc swap done? I want to know how hard it is. Do I need to worry about a master cylinder for no abs if I already don't have abs. I thought it was abs to no abs that was tricky. ABS is for pussies!
Yeah he makes bushings for endlinks so I am sure he can make lateral link ones. All a bushing is is a piece of poly with a metal center. No exactly rocket science. Make it on a lathe.
Share if you feel a difference. My vbrace helped...I felt like the h brace wouldn't do much because it was outside of the struts.
You could test it even
Anyway my car had damage in the trunk area and I wanted to give a little extra support and not lose too much trunk space. Different purposes of course.
I loved this in my old RS. That is where it came from. Really stiffens the rear. I have the V brace in my STi. This brace still allows trunk room, I can fit 2 racing wheels plus my took box, jack, and more when I raced the RS. Lot's o Room. Also, this ties into the strut tower bar, so it's still attached to the strut towers.
And if you want to run this with a v brace, which I thought of before, you need to make new brackets.
Totally... i would like to sell it to complete my AWD swap first sort of.
I am having traction issues all over. IDK if my front diff is just slipping a lot? I know its not the clutch, its like the diff says NO when I am WOT in a turn. I think pretty much one wheel is spinning and the other wheels stops functioning.
I think the race track will make it dangerous. I don't know what is going on just yet. But if I cannot give it gas in a corner, I am fucked.
Oh I will also be building my own dual strut bar in front, single piece, nice and sold. I learned how to bend pipes and made my first main hoop the other day in a lemons car. That car will be competing this year!
the front diff the fwd setup you mean? its just open right?
you could do a much more baller AWD setup in exchange for that wing, ha, prob wouldnt want to use most of the parts you have already though. the parts youre looking for arent that expensive though are they? trans, diff..?
I think its open? I know someone with a LSD FWD, but yea... see below.
So for the AWD swap, I have a tranny with a broken first, drive shaft, subframe, hubs, and cables. I need a matching 4:11 diff, early AWD gas tank - getting from the dealer $400, and I think that is it. Oh, a proper brake proportioning valve for my disc conversion.
So really, I am almost there. Just buying parts on the cheap, like my rear hub swap for a bill
The older AWD tanks don't have a ton of hoses and such to block off, worry about filling up right, etc. Plus. I have pulled old gas tanks, they rust inside. It's inevitable. I would rather buy a new tank and not worry for another 15 years for rush issues. Will a used one work and be cleaned? Sure... but I think I will go new on this.
build looks awesome so far, i recently picked up a 95 myself and im working on a mild build. already got a vf11 and a few supporting goodies that i hope to dive into soon.
Does your car currently have abs? Is that why you need the non abs master cylinder. I don't understand why you need it.
Can't you just change the valve?
Why can you not use a legacy one?

All the replies are in there about why this one is the best option. I will be sourcing a JDM Type RA impreza proportioning valve as that is non-abe, all disc. Then my sway is ready.
