I need to purchase the big a-- bolt that connects the two rear-links to the rear spindle (GS). The dealer wants 37 for the bolt and 14 for the nut. WTF that is a lot! I destroyed mine trying to take it out....blah. Anyone know of a place that can sell me one for less?

They are still available from Mazda. I bought some last month. I think the spindle end ones are $20ish each and the longer subframe end ones are $34ish each.
I actually have a spare set (I think). I will check tonight. I'll make you a nice deal if I do. Do you need all 4 or just the spindle end ones?

I needed the very large one that went through the spindle and the two links. When removing mine, it was utterly destroyed. Those things are apparently not meant to be removed and re-used. I ended up snapping off the alignment 'bolt' into one of the link ends so I headed to the wrecker to snag one-- turns out I had to chinger up the large bolt on that spindle set-up as well to remove the needed link part.
I purchased the bolt from Mazda for 37 bucks and the matching nut fo 14. I brought my lube.
