Overview

The Cusco Trailing Arm Bushes are high-performance suspension components designed to enhance your vehicle's handling and stability. Specifically engineered for the Toyota GT86, Subaru BRZ, and Subaru GR86 models from 2012 through 2025, these pillow ball bushes are a popular upgrade among driving enthusiasts and racers alike. By replacing the factory rubber or polyurethane bushings with precision pillow ball joints, these components significantly reduce suspension flex and improve steering response, giving you more direct feedback and control during spirited driving or track days.

Whether you're a daily driver seeking improved cornering or a competitive racer aiming for maximum precision, these Cusco trailing arm bushes help maintain optimal suspension geometry under load. They are built to withstand the rigors of aggressive driving while providing consistent, reliable performance. The inclusion of rubber boots helps protect the pillow balls from dirt, dust, and debris, ensuring long-lasting durability and minimal maintenance.

Construction & Design

The Cusco Trailing Arm Bushes feature a robust design utilizing high-precision pillow balls crafted from durable materials capable of handling high loads and repeated stress. The pillow ball joints are mounted within a sturdy housing that ensures a secure fit and consistent performance. The inclusion of rubber boots provides effective sealing against dirt and moisture, preserving the integrity of the pillow balls over time. These bushes are engineered with a focus on reducing unwanted suspension movement, thereby enhancing steering feel and cornering precision. The design maintains the original suspension geometry, ensuring compatibility and ease of installation without the need for additional tuning or adjustments.

Performance & Sound

By replacing the factory bushings with Cusco's pillow ball joints, you'll experience a noticeable improvement in steering responsiveness and cornering stability. The reduction in suspension flex translates to more precise handling and better feedback through the steering wheel. While these components are primarily focused on performance and handling, they also contribute to a more engaging driving experience, especially during aggressive driving or track sessions. The solid pillow ball construction may produce a slightly increased noise level compared to rubber bushings, but this is a common trade-off for improved responsiveness and durability.

Installation & Fitment

The Cusco Trailing Arm Bushes are designed as direct bolt-on replacements for the factory trailing arm bushings on compatible Toyota GT86, Subaru BRZ, and Subaru GR86 models from 2012 to 2025. Installation typically requires basic hand tools and a suspension press or bushing removal tool. No cutting, drilling, or complex modifications are necessary, making this upgrade accessible for most enthusiasts with moderate mechanical skills. Proper alignment is recommended after installation to ensure optimal handling and tire wear.
