    FYI LCA Mounting This is general. Perhaps relevant to all build threads.

    My kit arrives next week, so I don't have any fitting knowledge yet!

    However my donor was an 06 with a left LCA damaged. I got a replacement which had a completely different bushing/mounting pivot. I don't know what vehicle it came from.

    The black one is my 06 part.

    The difference is enormous!Difference3.jpgDifference1.jpgDifference2.jpg

    the aluminum colored one is OEM. I'm sure that you can adapt the aftermarket one...

    The black one almost looks like an OEM one from a Forester that has been painted. Which looks to be what GT spec uses as there housing

    That's very interesting. So if you didn't look at those together, it would be easy to miss the "offset". I wonder how much that would affect your steering geometry?
