Part #: 692 492 M. The front cross member is crucial as it bears the stress from the suspension, engine, and transmission. Reinforcing this high - stress area is essential for your Subaru to reach its peak performance and for the chassis to handle more power from the powertrain. The Cusco replacement cross member stops unwanted chassis flex and maintains a more stable suspension alignment. This results in sharper steering response, a steadier ride, and a longer lifespan for your suspension. Rigorous ANSYS testing, simulation, and real - world trials guarantee a top - quality product. Installation is easy - just bolt it on and reuse all factory hardware.

Using this Cusco powerbrace cross member is straightforward. First, you'll need to unbolt the old cross member using the appropriate tools. Make sure to keep all the factory hardware as you'll reuse it. Then, carefully place the new cross member in position and bolt it on tightly. As for maintenance, it's a good idea to check the bolts periodically to ensure they're still tight. If you notice any signs of excessive wear or damage, it's best to get it inspected. When driving, you'll immediately notice the improved steering and stability, but remember, it's designed to enhance your vehicle's performance under normal driving conditions. Avoid extreme off - road or over - stressing the vehicle to keep it in top shape.
