As I'm about to put my '04 WRX wagon in for a cambelt, I thought I'd get some groans from the front dealt with at the same time.

The car came with a spare set of ARB inner bushes but I see the front subframe is going to need to drop a bit to fit those. As parts supply can be a bit slow, I like to send the car in with a few bits that might be needed so I wonder if there's any other bushing around the subframe that I might as well deal with whilst it's on the ramp? I'm not worried about drop links/top mounts as those are easy enough to do anytime.

Thanks in advance.

Nothing off the top of my head.

As a future time saving exercise, it's not that bad as dropping the sub frame is a 5 minute job.

Thanks for that. Subframe has now been off and ARB bushes changed. An improvement straight away.

Biggest plus though are the new tyres which went on a few days later. Transformed the car.
