I got my warranty replacements back weeks before I thought I would. So.... they are for sale. FS: Super Pro Front Lower Control Arm Kit Subaru Forester 2014-2018 | TRC1040 Part #: TRC1040 Product Fitment: Subaru Forester 2014 - 2018 Subaru Forester XT 2014 - 2018 Product Specifications: Components Per Product: 2 Arms + Bushings Left and Right Replacement Arms for Repair or Upgrade Axle alignment required after fitting Fitment Difficulty: Difficult Fitting Position: Front 2hrs Installation Time I bought them from IIR. I had a failure and Super Pro were awesome to deal with and sent out a whole new set. I wasn't expecting them for another 3 weeks which is why I went ahead with a different solution. Here's the link. https://www.importimageracing.com/p...rol-arm-kit-subaru-forester-2013-2018-trc1040 Asking $300 Recommend new sway bar end links and sway bar bushings at the same time. I have the Super Pro bushings, good choice.
I will say, if you don't break the seal on the knuckle to the strut, you don't need an alignment if you do both sides. You should, but nothing should change.
Let's just get to a number where you're not hm'mming and ha'aaaing.... $225. Aftermarket parts cost more than that. Factory is less, but is... less. Losing my ass, but it's better than dealing with eBay.
