Cusco makes some HD sway bar end link brackets that you could have used instead of buying OEM (684316A)

[@danielcolucci267]

These are awesome, they make a similar bracket to go up front on the LCA's too, 692 477 A (with front subframe brace) (Sorry, I memorize part numbers for a living lol....)

[@avengednick]

Damn, how am I just seeing these! Might need to buy them... Haha

[@alexavgeres9283]

I have enjoyed your tutorial from the start on this full suspension upgrade. Looking forward to completion and the test drive results.

[@MisterNiggaX]

I have an 05 gt sedan and got myself spec b aluminum suspension bits and ill be doing this front and back. This video is very helpful and im I'm sure I'll be revisiting it whenever i actually get to taking my car apart

[@avengednick]

Right on, I’m glad you found it helpful! Good luck with the install

[@dominic8908]

Amazing work! I plan on doing this job on my 05 lifted outback. Im so glad you mentioned that the spec b wheel bearing bolts are longer, I appreciate the information you've put out there!

[@avengednick]

Thank you! So glad you found the video helpful

[@rite2beararms]

I'm right in the middle of it too. My trailing arms were so rusted, I ended up getting these spec B ones as well. It's kinda a can-o-worms. Never seems to end.

[@DBAUG]

You have to tighten all the bolts and nuts of all the suspension assemblies, when the car is sitting on its wheels, at a normal riding height

[@avengednick]

I did that will all bolts except the upper arm that there wasn’t enough room to get a wrench on with the subframe in the car

[@Carambal81]

Can't wait to see the final result :)

[@avengednick]

Appreciate you watching!

[@danielcolucci267]

So happy to see someone else had to go through ALL THE SAME ********** THAT I HAD TO WHEN I DID MINE!!!!!!!!!!! Hahahaha jokes jokes, glad things are moving again! Final stretch, and glad I could provide part numbers and stuff along the way, can't wait to see it running again and get your thoughts on how FREAKING STIFF it is after doing all of it lol

[@avengednick]

I definitely came out the other side a different man... Haha. Appreciate all your help along the way!

[@Andrew_Amos]

Friday, drive-day in Auburn!

[@avengednick]

Ahhh I wish it was back together! I'm waiting on one small part...

[@thatsicksubiegt]

Got the exact same set up 😂. Mine came fro Japan tho and I got Cusco sway Kartboy endlinks

[@avengednick]

That’s the way to do it, just buy a car with them haha

[@thatsicksubiegt]

@@avengednick pricey tho trailing arms are like 700 labor and mine was 500 shipped with upper controls

[@thatsicksubiegt]

@@avengednick mine came on stock suspension lol so yea I had to pay up

[@bradlydulfer2362]

@@thatsicksubiegt where did you get the the arms from?

[@thatsicksubiegt]

@@bradlydulfer2362 Ebay Motors shipped from japan. Pricey tho

[@jordanbeck640]

Dude this build's suspension is unbelievable!!! Are those the Good Ridge rear brake lines?? You said they were from KNS the shop but didn't mention the brand. If so I rock them too on my 08 LGT & they are fantastic!!

[@avengednick]

Thanks man! I'm super happy how it all came together. The ones I used are TechnaFit rear lines for the brembo swap

[@saheedimoru9870]

Hey can you give us part numbers for the hub bolts when using the spec b trailing arms plus the part number for the bushing kit for the rear sub frame

[@avengednick]

Ironically I was just looking up those bolt part numbers the other night for a customer project, it's 901000285. I used the Energy Suspension 19.4102 | Rear Sub Frame Bushing Set | 05-09 Subaru Outback

[@saheedimoru9870]

@@avengednick thanks buddy

[@captaincookie881]

Hi man, what is that sway bar that you got there? Looks pretty cool

[@avengednick]

It’s a Perrin 25mm bar

[@nova12332]

jeesus man are u a mechanic? how u learn all of this? but car is looking extra cleannnnn dude. i love it

[@avengednick]

Nope, all self-taught! Honestly I just watch a lot if KZbin tutorials, read forums, read factory service manuals, etc. until I feel I have a good grasp on the task and them just dive in and learn as I go.

[@MeliFelipe]

Have you got the source for the torque spec sheet @1:38? I'm doing something similar on my LGT, except with a 6 speed, and I don't want to flip back and forth through the service manual to find all of torque specs.

[@MeliFelipe]

Disregard that, I found 1 page with all of the values, it is (RS-3) in the service manual, page 2,867 of 4,610
