Product Description

The Cusco 692 026 ALHD is a reinforced power steering rack brace designed as a direct replacement for the OEM unit on a wide range of Subaru platforms including the WRX, WRX STI, Impreza, Forester, and Legacy. The factory brace allows a measurable degree of steering rack flex under cornering loads, which manifests as vague or imprecise steering feel. The Cusco unit is engineered to be substantially stiffer, reducing lateral rack movement and improving both steering response and on-center feedback.

Installation is a straightforward bolt-on swap using factory mounting hardware and locations, requiring no permanent modifications. It is a particularly popular upgrade for WRX and STI owners who want sharper steering feel without committing to a full steering upgrade, and pairs well with other Cusco chassis bracing components.
