Quiet a clunking rear sway bar and keep your Subaru cornering flat with the Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Stabilizer Bar Link Kit 542-475. This rear stabilizer bar link ties the rear stabilizer (sway) bar to the suspension, transferring load side-to-side to help limit body roll and keep handling composed. Dorman builds it as a direct replacement that fits and performs like the factory link on the listed vehicles: the 2009-2018 Subaru Forester, 2010-2024 Subaru Outback, 2013-2016 Subaru XV, 2013-2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek, and 2016-2017 Subaru Crosstrek (all engines).
- Steel construction: a steel link with a coated finish for rust and corrosion resistance.
- Threaded stud + rubber bushing ends: one threaded end (1.5 mm thread pitch) and one black rubber bushing end (10.3 mm bushing inside diameter, 41 mm outside diameter), 107 mm overall length.
- Greaseable design: a polymer bearing with a grease fitting and dust boot; it is not pre-greased, so grease it per the service procedure.
- Install hardware: ships with a locking nut. Bolts, washers, sleeves, and spacers are not included; consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether they may be reused.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this fit the front or rear of my Subaru?
It's a rear stabilizer bar link—the catalog lists it for the rear suspension of the applications shown, so use it to replace a worn rear sway bar link.
How many do I need for my vehicle?
Each listed Subaru uses two rear links. This listing is for one link, so order two to replace both sides together for even, balanced handling.
What's included in the kit?
One stabilizer bar link and one locking nut. Bolts, washers, sleeves, and spacers are not included; check your service information for any additional fasteners needed.
Is this link greaseable?
Yes. It has a polymer bearing with a grease fitting and a dust boot, and it is not pre-greased, so grease it per the vehicle's service procedure.
What are signs my sway bar link may need replacing?
Clunking or rattling over bumps and in turns, or looser, less-controlled handling. Diagnose the cause first, since other suspension parts can produce similar noises.
