North Seattle/Everett area machine shops for bushing install?
My 08 STI front lower control arm bushings have cracked and I'm looking for a place that has experience pressing them out and swapping new ones in. Anyone have a good machine shop in mind for this kinda work?

Drive auto sports in Everett? If they can't they can point you in the right direction.

It’s funny. With how much work I take to them I somehow managed to completely let the slip my mind for this kind of work. I’ll update when I get the work done, be it them or another shop. Thanks for the reminder.

Are the 08 sti aluminum or steel?
I have had little success with having bushings pressed out of steel control arms, but most shops with a press should be able to do aluminum. Both shops listed below are very familiar with Subaru: AWD Auto (Kirkland) Bud's Transmission (Marysville) |

thanks! I actually went up to Drive (a division of AWD Auto) and they talked me into just buying the MY2011 and up control arms because they're better than the 08. They talked me out of a potential job for them!
