Forester Cross Sports Wishbone/Control arm

[19Panther90]

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone is able to help please.

I have a 2006 Forester Cross Sports import and the control arm on the passenger side needs replacing after a little accident but I'm coming across conflicting information so I'm not sure what I need.

Would a control arm from a standard UK SG Forester fit? I've been told no because of a bracket for the headlight levelling.

I've also read it has the same control arm as the SG9 STI Forester?

Any help would be appreciated.

They're definitely not STI ones then.

I have some blobeye impreza ones that I thought would fit but been told by my mechanic they won't.

I've ordered one from Ebay that's described as Forester 02-08...hopefully it's the correct one.

if you don’t succeed then i will see what i have , i broke a forester sti sg9 2004 , and i may still have the alloy arms left but i’m not sure , could take a bit of digging to see if i do have them still

Would appreciate it if you could find them and let me know what you want for them.

As it turns out, it was originally manufactured with STI control arms, someone then replaced one side (the one that needs replacing) with a standard steel one.

So I'll be looking to replace it eventually.
