It installs in the front position as a replacement across a range of Subaru applications, including the 2010-2014 Outback, 2014-2018 Forester, 2015-2021 WRX and WRX STI, and 2006-2007 B9 Tribeca — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of covered years and models.
- Front stabilizer bar connection: links the front stabilizer (sway) bar to the suspension, transmitting the loads that help resist body lean during cornering.
- Signs of a worn link: clunking or rattling over bumps and through turns, plus a loose feel in the front end, may indicate the stabilizer bar link needs replacing.
- Kit form: supplied as a stabilizer bar link kit for the front position.
If a failed or worn stabilizer bar link is the cause of your front-end noise, this kit replaces it. Replacing the links on both sides of the axle together is good practice for balanced, even handling.
