Part #: 965 914 A
Overview
The Cusco Front Lower Arm Bushing Set is a high-performance suspension upgrade designed specifically for the Subaru BRZ, Scion FR-S, and Toyota FT-86 models from 2012 to 2021. Crafted for driving enthusiasts who seek sharper handling and improved responsiveness, these reinforced bushings are engineered to enhance your vehicle's steering precision and cornering capabilities. Whether you're a spirited street driver, a track day enthusiast, or someone looking to maximize the performance of your sports car, this bushing set offers a significant upgrade over the factory components.
By replacing the stock bushings with Cusco's reinforced version, you'll experience more direct steering inputs and a more connected feel in the chassis. This upgrade helps reduce suspension flex during aggressive cornering, resulting in increased chassis rigidity and more predictable handling. While the bushings are optimized for performance, they are also designed to withstand high-stress driving conditions, making them a reliable choice for both daily driving and competitive motorsports.
Key Features
The Cusco Front Lower Arm Bushing Set incorporates several advanced features to deliver superior handling and durability:
- Constructed from a carefully selected rubber compound that balances flexibility and reinforcement, providing a responsive yet durable bushing.
- Designed from extensive circuit testing to optimize handling characteristics, ensuring sharper turn-in and improved stability at high speeds.
- Reinforced bushings help eliminate suspension geometry changes during aggressive driving, maintaining proper alignment and tire contact patch.
- Enhanced chassis rigidity contributes to more precise steering feedback and reduced understeer or oversteer tendencies.
- Manufactured by Cusco, a trusted name in performance suspension components, ensuring quality and consistency.
- May increase vibration and noise slightly due to the reinforced rubber material, which is a trade-off for improved handling performance.
Construction & Design
The Cusco Front Lower Arm Bushing Set features a robust design utilizing high-quality rubber material selected through extensive circuit testing. The bushings are reinforced to provide a firmer connection between the suspension components and the chassis, reducing unwanted movement and flex. This reinforcement results in a more direct transfer of steering inputs and enhances overall handling response. The bushings are precisely engineered to fit the OEM lower arm mounting points, ensuring a seamless installation without modifications.
The design emphasizes durability and performance, with reinforced rubber that can withstand the rigors of spirited driving and track use. While the increased stiffness may lead to a slight rise in vibration and noise, this is a common characteristic of performance bushings aimed at maximizing handling precision.
Installation & Fitment
The Cusco Front Lower Arm Bushing Set is designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory bushings. Installation typically requires removing the lower control arms from the vehicle, pressing out the existing bushings, and pressing in the new reinforced bushings. No cutting, drilling, or complex modifications are necessary, making it suitable for DIY enthusiasts with basic suspension tools or professional installation.
It is recommended to perform an alignment after installation to ensure optimal handling and tire wear. The process is straightforward for those familiar with suspension work, and Cusco provides detailed instructions to assist with the installation.
