Fifteen minute, $15.00 rear suspension mod.
I wanted to reduce the amount of play in the rear crossmember, without the noise or squeeking of hard polyurethane bushings.
In Advance Auto Parts "HELP" section, I came across these steering coupling discs, part # 31000. They are just over 3" in diameter, and a little over 1/4" thick when compressed. Multiple layers of rubber and fabric and very durable. They are perfect to use as shims in between the factory bushings, and the 3" in diameter rubber backed washer Subaru calls the "stopper diff mtg. Jack up the car safely, and remove the two 17mm nuts that hold the stoppers in place. Remove the washers. Install the rubber rings, and the stoppers, and the nuts. Tighten. Lower the car and you are done. Tom.
