WhitelineW63398 Rear Trailing Arm Bushing,Black

Fit perfectly. I liked the 2-piece design with the extra large shoulders so that it keeps the trailing arm in line.

I just got done installing these bushings yesterday and the quality seems very high. The dimensions seem perfectly correct except for the diameter of the bushings in regard to how tight they fit within the knuckle. After cleaning the rust out of the bushing bore of my knuckle, the bushing went in easily but seemed snug enough to stay put. After reassembling everything the outer bushing was not seated correctly on either side. It was sticking out around about 1/4 of the bushing. After lowering the vehicle and letting the suspension settle, one side seated perfectly. The other side (right side) is still coming out of the bore slightly. My concern with this is that there may be accelerated wear on part of the bushing which may then cause alignment or handling issues.This problem could be due to the amount of rust that had to be removed from the bore as I live in New Hampshire and I'm sure we have more of a problem with corrosion than in Australia where the Whiteline company is run. I will be removing them both and possibly applying a few layers of rust proofing paint to the inside of the bores hoping the layers of paint will make up the difference for the amount of metal that rusted away and hopefully the bushings will sit correctly and therefor wear properly.If I determine that this is in deed the cause I will probably change my review to a 4 star. I can't give it a 5 because even if Australia doesn't have rust, these parts are made available in parts of the world where rust is inevitable and Subaru's are VERY popular in these parts of the world (extreme weather conditions = snow = a need for AWD). Therefor this discrepancy should have been considered and the bushings made to fit just a little tighter.Update: so I tried applying several coats of paint on the inner bore of the knuckle to see if it would make a difference by making for a tighter fit of the rubber bushings. It seemed to work but only for about a day. The rubber portions of the bushings are now once again pulling away from the knuckle when at normal ride height. I will most definitely be returning these to Amazon. What a waste of time.

Great replacement option for the trailing arm compared to removing it and installing another overly compliant factory bushing. No need for a press, just a hacksaw for the factory bushing.I had to drop the bracket which bolts into the body on my outback in order to get clearance for the bolt on the trailing arm bushing out. After that putting a jack under the knuckle will pivot the whole trailing arm down and give you room to easily make cuts in the shell of the stock bushing, then knock it out with a chisel.Getting everything lined up afterward proved to be a PITA though, I ended up loosening and/or removing the shock and control arm attachments to the knuckle in order to get it all lined up. If you do this make sure you torque everything at ride height so that you're not putting an additional twist in all the factory rubber bushings.

Biggest like: ease of installation. Dislike: lack of instructions in where to add the supplied grease so I just applied it everywhere motion occurs. Of course, getting to the bushing was an adventure but pressing it out by itself wasn't crazy. I just rented a ball joint press from the auto parts store.After installation you can feel a firmer ride. Before I always dreaded the idea of replacing these bushings. Whiteline couldn't have made it easier. Now that I have all the right tools and know-how I feel comfortable doing this job.

This was supposed to be a two part bushing but I received a 1 piece design that requires a press for installation. The part number on my bag matches the listed item, but the contents are not as pictured.

Fits perfectly. No press needed. Should have been designed this way for OEM.Removing the old bushing is the hardest part. If your replacing it because the rubber has separated remember that the OEM bushing has a pressed in metal sleeve that you have to remove to fit this new bushing. The easiest way to do this is to use a jigsaw, hack saw, sawsall or similar to cut a slot just barely through the bushing sleeve and then use a chisel to pry up the edge until it pops loose and then just hammer out the sleeve.

I installed these on a 2005 subaru baja turbo and they fit perfect. The instructions say to install the larger bushing on the innermost part of the trailing arm but I found that on the Baja it was better to install the larger bushing on the outside to help keep the alignment more in spec.Removal of the old bushing was done via sawzall since it is a press in OEM bushing. These are easily pressed in by hand once the old bushing and sleeve are removed.

Super easy install and perfect fit for my 2001 outback llbean.

Product seems high quality but is not the same as on the picture… now i’ll have to bring it to a shop because i don’t have a press to install this and it will end up costing me more $$$ not really happy about that
