The SuperPro DURO4425K front lower inner control arm bushing kit brings DuroBall hybrid technology to 2015-2021 Subaru WRX and WRX STI. Instead of traditional polyurethane, DURO4425K uses a metal-shell spherical bearing combined with SuperPro's polymer liner, providing the compliance needed for daily driving while eliminating the deflection common in worn rubber bushings. This standard-alignment design drops directly into OEM control arms with no geometry changes required.

Key Features
- DuroBall technology combines spherical metal bearing with polymer liner for precise suspension control
- Eliminates front-end vagueness caused by worn OEM rubber inner control arm bushings
- Standard alignment design preserves factory caster and camber settings
- More compliant than solid spherical bearings, reducing NVH transfer to the cabin
- Direct press-in fit for OEM WRX/WRX STI front lower control arm
- Designed and tested by SuperPro for VA-chassis Subaru applications
Installation Notes
Installing DURO4425K requires pressing out the OEM bushings from the lower control arm and pressing the DuroBall units in. A hydraulic press and appropriate mandrel set are required. Ensure arm is clean and free of burrs before pressing. Torque all suspension hardware with the vehicle at ride height. A front alignment check is recommended after installation although geometry does not change with the standard-alignment design.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What makes DuroBall different from standard polyurethane? DURO4425K uses a metal spherical shell with a SuperPro polymer liner, which allows more rotational freedom than solid poly while still providing far less deflection than worn rubber. The result is sharper turn-in and more predictable cornering response.
- Will DURO4425K change my alignment settings? No. DURO4425K is the standard-alignment version and replaces the OEM bushing without shifting camber or caster. You should still verify alignment after any suspension work.
- Is this compatible with lowered WRX/STI builds? Yes. DURO4425K is designed for the VA-chassis 2015-2021 WRX and STI and works at lowered ride heights within normal range.
- Does the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act apply to suspension bushing upgrades? Yes. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, your vehicle manufacturer cannot void your chassis or suspension warranty solely because you installed aftermarket bushings such as DURO4425K, as long as the installation was performed correctly.
- Is a professional alignment required after installing DURO4425K? A front alignment check is recommended after any control arm bushing replacement to confirm all settings are within spec, even though DURO4425K does not alter geometry by design.

Suspension Arm Bushings
Suspension arm bushings isolate the metal control arms and subframe from the vehicle chassis, absorbing vibration and allowing controlled suspension movement. Worn or cracked factory rubber bushings cause looseness in the suspension geometry, increased road noise, and imprecise steering feel. Quality replacement and upgraded bushings restore factory performance or improve handling response. Popular Suspension Arm Bushing Options Popular suspension arm bushing options include OEM-specification rubber bushing replacements for restoring factory ride quality, polyurethane control arm bushing sets for improved handling precision and reduced deflection under load, spherical bearing conversion kits for track applications that eliminate bushing compliance entirely, and complete control arm bushing kits that include all bushings and sleeves needed for a full vehicle refresh. What are the symptoms of worn suspension arm bushings? Worn suspension arm bushings typically cause clunking or knocki...
