After being sanded down and vapor blasted, the rear lower control arms were looking really nice The middle and outer pivot points are where the pillowball bearings are located.
The rear trailing link received the same sanding and vapor blasting treatment
Next, we installed the SuperPro USA polyurethane bushing into the rear trailing arm.
The rear upper control arm also looks significantly better after vapor blasting. We are a bit of a sucker to this process and love the way it looks.
The rear upper control arm received new pillowball mounts in the shock lower mount and the outer upright pivot. The two inner rubber bushings were replaced with SuperPro USA polyurethane bushings.
Next, we installed the rear control arms onto our powdercoated subframe.

I dig that clamp designed into the sway bar mount, very cool! Loving this build, almost a roller!
What is the overall goal for this car, Billy? You are putting so much money into it that you might never drive it to avoid scratches! Everything is top notch and I enjoy reading every installment.
The car is being built to be driven and to share the rotary platform to a new group of people and to demonstrate that with proper engineering, they can be reliable and extremely high performers. The car will be tracked and taken to many events. This is not going to be a show car or garage queen.
It is done as a well balanced reliable car and this and what we did to our STI are examples of what it takes to do it right.
Amazing job on the bushing work who did that for you
