Stock Rear Lateral Links from other Subarus
Hey all,
I slid on some snow-covered ice in a turn and hit a curb, which bent my rear lateral link on my driver's side.   I searched and searched the forums, but came up with null for stock lateral links. I bought a 92 Legacy one from the pull and pay and put it on, but it's too short so the tire is toed out about 5 degrees and drags. I have been planning on getting STI adjustables soon, but right now I'm short on money and I need to find a quick fix ASAP as I'm currently borrowing my friend's banged up off-roading Wrangler. Are there any other Subaru links that are the right length for the SVX? PS: Preferably from an Outback, Legacy, or Impreza, as my local junkyard has no WRXs/STIs or any subaru newer than 98. Thanks.

Re: Stock Rear Lateral Links from other Subarus
If it's going to be very short term. You can use two legacy links, the toe should even out. Your camber will suck, but it should drive better than 5* of toe.

Re: Stock Rear Lateral Links from other Subarus
WRX sedan lateral links are longer than those found on older Impreza/Legacy/Forester models (same length as the 2004-2007 STis). Might work. WRX wagon ones are as short as the older Impreza/Legacy/Forester models so skip those.

edit: The SVX lat links are 16" bolt center to bolt center. The megan adjustable sti ones I've got are about 15-17", and are for a GDF Impreza (05 sti sedan). Professor Google says that the 90s-05 or 06 imprezas are all also 16", so any of those should work.

Re: Stock Rear Lateral Links from other Subarus
Well I went back to the junkyard and pulled a few lateral links off of various Subarus.
I found that most of them were 15 3/4" from the center of each bolt hole, so I just grabbed the other legacy link and put that one on. Nicely enough, since all my struts are weak, my car sags enough to where all my wheels have about 1 degree negative camber, so the legacy links only caused about half a degree of positive camber.
