    Looking for a full set of four good (straight) lat-links, preferably with decent bushings. The car is a 98 Legacy Outback so any pre-2000 legacy links with C style sway links and I believe some Impreza links will work too.

    Friend was complaining of poor handling in the snow. He took it in to have the tires rotated and found his <4k tires on the rear looked like this

    So after looking at the rear end... does anyone have any ideas how this could happen so uniformly?

    Ugh... I don't know if I'm up for providing this friend that much charity work... Haha I'll check it out, Thanks Dan!

    If anyone has a set off the car let me know.

    If it is on both sides I would bet the car came from a yard somewhere that pucked it up with forks on a front end loader.

    Good luck trying to get those off the car. They are known to be really rusted to the hub.

    Haha thanks I know all too well how hard those things can be to get off. First time i did them was on my 93 Tleg, all four bush inserts were seized to the bolt and the bolt seized to the hub. This is why I'm trying to avoid having to pull a set from a yard.
