Part #: FFA1.10007.1. The Faction Fab Rear Shifter Bushing is a top - notch upgrade made from tough urethane materials. It directly replaces the factory rubber rear bushing. By doing so, it gets rid of annoying shifter slop, giving you a better shifter feel and reducing shifting mistakes caused by the soft factory rear mount. Also, compared to the stock setup, this bushing has a 10mm drop in the mounting location. This lowers the whole shifter assembly, centering the shifter lever in the shift trim ring. It's super useful when used with aftermarket short shifters that can make the shifter and shift knob sit too close to the dash. The Faction Fab Rear Shifter Bushing fixes this by re - centering the shifter. Here are its great features: 10mm lower mounting position than stock, it's a direct factory replacement with no mods needed, made of 80A vacuum cast polyurethane materials, has 304 stainless steel machined inserts for load distribution and corrosion resistance, comes with Grade 8.8 zinc plated hardware, and is 100% designed, manufactured, and assembled in the USA.
Using the Faction Fab Rear Shifter Bushing is easy. First, locate the factory rear bushing in your Subaru WRX (2002 - 2014) or STI (2004+). Then, simply remove the old bushing and replace it with this new one. Since it's a direct factory replacement, you won't need to make any modifications. When driving, you'll notice a big improvement in the shifter feel right away. As for maintenance, keep an eye on the bushing for any signs of wear. You can clean it with a mild soap and water solution every few months. If you live in an area with a lot of salt on the roads in winter, clean it more often to prevent corrosion. Also, make sure to check the hardware periodically to ensure it's still tight. And that's it! With proper use and care, this bushing will serve you well for a long time.
