Rear Whiteline UCA bushings, possible dealer F**Kup? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

OICU812 · 06-19-2013, 06:03 AM

So here I am getting my shit in gear to get ready to order me up some coil overs and make sure to take into account what I have now. I am educating myself taking a good look under car. I see this...

Now sorry I havent done this before but should there not be TWO sets of bushings installed on these UCAs?? The dealer did this for me out of the gate as I lowered it on springs "eibachs" and went with these to get the better alignment. To me this is HALF done at best, and probably actually more damaging then good yes?

I am pretty damn sure this is NOT correct and there should be two sets on each UCA according to WL instructions and data sheet, but wanted to confirm from folks here familiar with these if there would be ANY reason at all for there to be only one set on each UCA, both sides only front bushings were done. Back is not dirty, I confirmed simply by feeling it and wiping it that the backs "each side" are in fact the stock rubber bushings.

Before I go ape shit please correct me if I am wrong here in thinking there should be (4) bushing sets, all UCA front and back done to be proper....

Thanks!!!

That is on the rear. Its a multi link so it doesnt have a top A arm as such.

Ok so it requires only the two total one set per side "front as shown" or requires two bushing sets per side, front and back each side??

Here's PDF that shows our cars arms and bushings.
To me it shows both in each arm?

All four are required so you don't move the outer pivot point fore-aft as you adjust the camber.

yes you do need both per arm

So you are spending 300 dollars in bushings to do both sides? I thought the package came with enough for both sides.
