Question For The Guru's

[green_goblin]

I have got myself a set of alloy wishbones and whiteline Roll-centre / bump-steer adjust kit which has the uprated ball joints.........so when checking the installation procedure "This is the PDF doc"

It says the following

Note: On vehicles equipped with alloy control arms, ensure that the

original steel tapered insert/reducer is removed off the original ball-joint

and re-used with Whiteline ball-joint. Refer to photos 2 and 3.

As i am going from steel wishbones to alloy ones.....will my current ball joints have the insert/reducer or do i need to buy it??? I will need to know this before fitting as dont want to have wishbones all off etc then realise i cant fit the ball joints!!!

Cheers for the help in advance

look at the wishbones they are machined wide for the steel collar to go into ,if no steel collars in them you will have to buy them from subaru

ps. why are you changing from steel whishbones to alloy? dont belive weight saving is an issue.

Got told by Graeme from whiteline that its a good mod to do.....it improves handling due to the weight difference.....improves rebound or something, not completely sure!! But hes setting my car up and im taking his advice as he is a Guru

I have both alloy arms ready to go on but need the sleeve/reducers for the ball joints
