    Anyone here using an anti-lift kit on their 02+ WRX? If you are, 'm in desperate need of your OEM rear bushing for your front lower control arm on the driver side. Mine broke and I need a new one ASAP.

    It's just taking up space in your garage and you WANT me to have it. :D

    If you auto-x and you don't want anyone to know you use an ALK, I swear I won't divulge your name. I just need the OEM part ASAP!!

    Thanks!!

    If either one of you guys want to meet tonight or tomorrow, I'll be more than happy to meet you. My number is 678-375-1034 and I work in Norcross and live in Suwanee. It's my office number but it rolls to my cell. Call me whenever you have time and I really appreciate your help.

    All I really need so far is just the rear bushing for the front lower control arm. It's the piece the anti-lift kit replaces.

    This is the ALK:

    OEM piece looks just like it but is silver with a black bushing.

    Thanks again!!

    SkullWRX should also have the mounts.

    John came by and we were going to just swap the bushing then we found this.....

    That $60 turned into $288. Looks like I need a new LCA as this one is bent like a mofo.

    Thanks again John for everything. I'll let you know what Lisa can do and get back in touch with you.

    As for what caused it, one of the two bolts holding the rear busing in place fell out some time ago (I guess) and thus I was only using one. That put alot of stress on the part. While auto-xing Sunday I made a hard right turn and heard a loud POP! That rear bushing snapped in two from all the stress. I was going about 40-50 MPH when it happened and the forward movement bent the arm since it no longer had the support it needed.

    Sucks but honestly I have that track day at Road Atlanta this weekend and I would have been in much worse shape if this would have happened out there!! I was luckly really.
