energy suspension polyurethane bushings no kit for us right but maybe as a team we can fig out what part numbers we need out of the universal stuff to make a kit that cover every bushing on the car what u guys think?

some of this is covered already, like the rear sway bar links and i think there was something else but i can't remember right now

thought it might be a good idea to have it all in one thread

Lower control arm bushings: OEM part #
EA013446YA BUSHING LEFT (L), RUBBER – rear bushing in bracket – bracket is mirror image specific to side
EA013446XA BUSHING RIGHT (R), RUBBER
EA0134470 BUSHING, RUBBER FRONT – front bushings same for both control arms

Energy suspension lower control arm replacements:
Front lower control arm: 4-3152

There is an install thread that would also apply to MX3 over at clubprotege at this link

Sway bar bushings are covered in this forum at this link.

Energy suspension rear: 9.5124
Energy suspension front: 9.5128

Rear Lateral Link bushings are covered as a sticky at the top of this forum.
Energy suspension parts = 4 sets of 9.9108

In the sway bar bushings link you gave there is a guy which says that 9.5126g part is directly replace for the old ones..
Anyone tried these bushings?

keep it coming you give are the s--- o um sorry

Good to see this pop up again, I had been looking recently and couldn't find much... Glad that it's all in one place!

ES 4-7123 is for Escort ZX2 trailling arms. It will mostly fit, but if you have a GS you will have to modify the rear bushings as they will not be wide enough.

SuperPro is the only company in the world now who does, or used to make bushings for the rear suspension. Nolan used to but SuperPro bought them I think. Tein is their international distributor and getting anything from them is like pulling teeth. They have everything but good luck getting your hands on them. Make sure of your dimensions before you order anything. It's tricky and there are some discrepancies from their UK only cars to ours. They do have the right sizes of stuff but it's easy to make a mistake and order the wrong stuff.

TTL Front Inner and Outer: SPF1786K
TTL Rear Inner and Outer: SPF1787K

I wish it were simpler to order them all, a real "kit" would be amazing. I'll bet more of us would buy them if it were simpler.

The Eunos 30x was pretty uncommon in Aus back in its day but the Astina was everywhere. Its built on a BG chassis so most parts are really close. Its perfect for the Protege and Escort guys. Just a little bit different from the mx-3. Unfortunately. Which is why I went to the trouble a couple years ago. I tried several times to get a second group buy going but never managed enough interest. Now I have been informed that my mold has gone missing.

It's unfortunate too, I had been really hopeful that a new group buy would take off. I still don't fully understand exactly which bushings you can get from Energy Suspension, or even the optional durometers of said bushings... Granted, I didn't put a serious effort into figuring it out yet, since money has been mostly lacking lately.

Yesterday i took out my trailing arm bushings and did some measurements..
From side to side the small bushing is 40mm and the big one is 44


The parts that matches from superpro are SPF0907K 40mm and SPF2744K 44mm which are meant to be for mazda astina
Energy suspension 4-7123G which are for ford escort is possible to fit too..
Hope this helps.

Okay, so I have a few questions on this. It's driving me absolutely crazy because I am having to put my exhaust system on hold until I can get my eaten up bushings replaced all of the way around the car.

For us American MX-3 owners, (USDM); if we wanted to just roll on down to Autozone and purchase some quick Energy Suspension bushings to replace the Front Lower Control Arm (Front) bushings, the Front Lower Control Arm (Rear) bushings, Front Sway Arm Bushings, Rear Trailing Arm (Left and Right, Front and Rear) Bushings, Lateral Link Bushings and Rear Sway Arm Bushings, what exact part numbers in the Energy Suspension line do we go with?

I have tried every possible way to try and locate SuperPro Bushings over here in the US and I am not saying it is impossible because I have read some guys worklogs on here from America that have used them but one thing I know for certain... I can't find them for myself other than getting lucky with the one or two kits available on eBay from international sellers willing to ship to the U.S.

The honest truth is that I am completely wore out trying to find that one shot in the dark of a performance shop willing to actually be nice to me and say, "Hey, you know what, man? I'll order them for you. It may cost you a few more bucks but at least you won't have to be an authorized dealer or installer to order them..."

The only two listed dealers in America on the SuperPro website are, Outback Technologies USA, specializing in off road SUVs like Rangerovers and IMC, whom I called and asked where I would be able to purchase SuperPro products in America and they rudely told me Autozone and O'Reilleys!!! As he was being a complete Douche Bag! "They sell to the public... go buy from them"

Someone please respond to this with complete Energy Suspension Part Numbers that have been installed on USDM Models. Please?

I would be so greatful as I have an Autozone just a few blocks up the road. Thanks again.

PS...

I saw the part numbers on the Lateral Link write up and I'm all over that. The ones I am unclear about are the conflicting part numbers for the Control Arms. Some say 4.3152, others say 9.5124 and 9.15218 Some clarification is all that's needed really. Sorry

DeadMaker, thanks for that post! I hadn't checked back in forever, but I'm grateful to have that info finally!

Bump....

Can someone please verify davmac's part numbers listed?
