GTA - source for OEM parts
Looking for new front endlinks, hoping to get them tomorrow. Anyone know of a place that will have them in stock?
The closer to Yonge and Eglinton the better! I'd also consider certain aftermarket ones if the price is right, I don't need adjustability, just need ones that are effed and seized. |
Dealer. You'll have them next day.

Dealer fo sho.
Personally I go to Budds Subaru but that may be far for you. The parts guy at Budds is extremely fast and helpful. |
If they are stocked at the local warehouse then you'll have them next day or two from the dealer. Otherwise like me when I buy various size nuts and bolts for suspension work, it usually takes 2 weeks shipped from Subaru Japan.
You can try the Toyota dealer as well but I find their prices are much higher for the same parts. |
you can let me know what parts you looking for
I work at Subaru of Maple as Sales rep :D |
Front swaybar endlinks (both sides) with nuts (all 4), and one wheel stud (front if it matters).
I don't have the part number for the end links to cross reference against WRX parts or I would be looking at more places online. No one seems to show any useful parts for these cars yet. |
Found everything in stock at C and C Subaru, which is right along my drive home anyway, picking it up tonight. Subaru is a bit cheaper on everything than Toyota, $28 vs $35 each for the end links and a couple dollars less on the stud too.

I got there after parts closed last night, but the sales guy nearby was super helpful even though he knew I clearly wasn't there to buy a new car.

You can try heating them up to try loosening up the rust, but I ended up having to sawzall mine off. I don't think you'll get a dremel into the right place to cut them, the discs are too small.
If you can, try really soaking them in penetrating oil a few times before resorting to cutting. The trouble is that you need to get them partially loosened or cutting is a HUGE pain in the ass. Might help to clean up the threads with a wire brush too. I could get mine partially loose, but not all the way off. By the time I thought about trying a wire brush I had already damaged the end link too much anyway, so I was already ready to replace them. |
Heat works best
You'll also need a pair of vise grips You'll feel a disc like projection between the nut and the link itself. Put that vise grip on it so it prevents it from spinning while you're trying to loosen the nut. I was able to zap one side out with just the vise grips. Other side I had to heat it up a bit before it would come out. |
