Cusco Rear Front Body-Side Pillowball Lateral Link Bushings

1992–1999 Subaru Impreza WRX GC8 / 2001–2007 GDB Subaru Impreza WRX STI

Part #: 660 464 JV

Overview

The Cusco Rear Front Body-Side Pillowball Lateral Link Bushings are high-performance suspension components designed to enhance the handling and stability of your Subaru Impreza WRX GC8 and GDB STI models. Crafted for enthusiasts who demand precise control and improved cornering, these bushings replace the factory rubber mounts with durable pillow balls that provide a more direct connection between suspension components.

Ideal for spirited driving, track days, or any application where improved steering response and straight-line stability are desired, these pillowball bushings help reduce alignment changes caused by suspension flex and wear. By strengthening the suspension joints that are constantly loaded during aggressive driving, they help you achieve more accurate steering feedback and consistent handling characteristics.

Key Features

Cusco's pillowball lateral link bushings are engineered with precision and durability in mind. They utilize high-precision pillow balls, commonly used in racing vehicles, to eliminate compression and deflection inherent in rubber bushings. This results in a more direct transfer of suspension forces, enhancing your vehicle's responsiveness and overall performance.

• Constructed with high-quality materials to withstand rigorous driving conditions and reduce wear over time.
• Uses rubber boots to protect the pillow balls from dirt, debris, and moisture, ensuring longevity and consistent performance.
• Designed to minimize alignment changes during aggressive cornering, helping maintain optimal tire contact and grip.
• Improves steering response and exhibits excellent effects in accurate cornering and straight-line stability.
• Manufactured by Cusco, a trusted name in motorsport and performance suspension components.

Construction & Design

The pillowball bushings feature a robust construction with high-precision pillow balls housed within a durable metal shell. The inclusion of rubber boots provides effective sealing against dirt and contaminants, preserving the integrity of the pillow balls. These bushings are designed to replace the factory rubber mounts seamlessly, offering a direct upgrade that enhances suspension articulation and feedback.

The use of pillow balls instead of rubber or polyurethane bushings ensures zero compression or deflection, allowing for more precise control of suspension geometry. This design choice is especially beneficial for racing and high-performance driving, where every fraction of a second and degree of steering input counts.

Performance & Sound

By replacing the factory suspension bushings with Cusco's pillowball units, you'll notice a more responsive steering feel and improved cornering precision. The direct connection reduces unwanted flex and enhances the vehicle's ability to respond accurately to driver inputs. While these bushings are primarily performance-oriented, they also contribute to a more engaging driving experience with a firmer, more connected feel in the suspension.

Installation & Fitment

The Cusco pillowball lateral link bushings are designed as bolt-on upgrades for your Subaru Impreza WRX GC8 and GDB STI models from 1992 to 1999 and 2001 to 2007, respectively. Installation typically involves removing the existing rubber bushings and pressing in the pillowball units. No cutting or extensive modifications are required, but professional installation is recommended to ensure proper fitment and alignment.

• Seamless replacement for factory suspension joints.
