Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm Bushing P/N:540-856
Take the play out of your front suspension with the Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm Bushing 540-850. This bushing installs at the front right lower rearward position and drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2001-2002 Subaru Forester, cushioning the connection between the control arm and the chassis so the suspension can locate the wheel and absorb road inputs the way it was designed to.
Bushings wear, crack, and separate over time, letting the control arm shift under load. If a failed bushing is the cause of your issues, replacing it helps restore proper positioning and dampening.
