Where to buy bushings online?
Where to buy bushings online?
I usually order all my new MX-3 parts from Discount Auto Parts, but they don't offer any bushings for the car. Can somebody please tell me where I can find them? I need bushings for the rear suspension, I would assume that the best is to change everything at once, right?
Thanks in advance!

I have a spare set of teh bushign kit I was selling as a groupbuy. I was holding em for a buyer but he never paid and I forgot completely. I found them in my basement just this past week looking for some transmission parts for my rebuild.

Interesting
on the front control arm, is there more bushings in your kit than in the SRD one?
also, shift extension rod bushing, same as SRD?
how much for the kit?
I`m doing my suspension now, so it might be nice (got almost everything from SRD, so thats why Im asking)
if its mostly the same I would be interested in the rear trailing link bushings, if you sell those seperate

I like your nick, man! You've got to have norwegian roots! Anyway, turned out that it's not the regular bushings, it's the stabilizer rod, and I think that comes with bushings. So maybe I can find those at Energysupsension? In Norway that thing will cost me around 150 dollars, perhaps it would be cheaper to call a Mazda dealer in the US.

Wow you got me. Most ppl are stupid and think I'm black & from NYC. When I play online games w/this moniker I get ppl calling me racist remarks all the time when I'm kicking a--.
Actually i'm 1/4 Norwegian and like 1/8 or 1/16 Icelandic.
When you say stabilizer rod..do u mean the swaybar? the endlinks on those things are difficult to buy anywhere. I called up Energy suspension & Prothane & a couple other comapnies that make bushings to see if they had any endlinks that would fit and they all never replied or just told me none of their applications would work. OE Mazda ones are expensive and hard to get. NO one makes aftermarket ones, but you can create your own using solid industrial links & some nuts to lock them into place. I made some. I'll have to get the part numbers but I bought the parts from grainger industrial supply (company in USA). U can order stuff online via their site too but I have to get the proper part numbers for em.
