Impreza Front lateral link vs. rear lateral link
Car: Impreza coupe 1995 ej18 AWD
Are the front and rear lateral link the same on Impreza that came without rear sway bars? One of the front lateral links is bend and I am in the process of sourcing rear lateral links with sway bar mounts. So it would be great if I din’t have to get a front lateral link if I can just use on of the original rear links to the replace the bent front one. Thank you in advace for any relevant information.

only the rears have the mount, you can use the back one on the front!

Neither did mine and I swapped them. I wrote it up here, it might be helpful. The only difference is that you don't have to worry about tire well clearance. |

I just took them out both front and back lateral links and put them side by side, if i had not marked it a market I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. So the answer to my own question is
Yes the front and rear lateral links in an impreza without a rear sway bar are the same. thank you all for the input |
