Hi guys this is my first post of what will probably be many as I get my car fixed and ready for mot.

My nsr trail arm is snapped so I'm wondering one of two things...

Can an mx5 trail arm be used? Are they interchangeable?

Secondly, if they are not interchangeable does a: anyone have one going cheap they could sell me or b: where's a good source for cheap parts. I've used 247spares and received one quote but I'm not sure it is a fair price.

Thanks guys!! :)

I don't see why it would work. The Miata is a completely different car that technically should have nothing in common between chassis'. If there's one from another car that work, it would be from a Protege/323. You never know, you can give it a try and let us know, but I wouldn't bet my, or your, money on it.

Hey Jordan, I'm sorry I feel like a fool. :lol:

So why do not search for the thing in some junkyard?

And... what you mean by "snapped"? Dammaged bushes?

It's literally snapped in the middle.
