Hi all,
i have been told by my local mechanic that i need to change my "rear top suspension arm to hub bearings/bushes"
now i have doen some research but are these part number FD01-26-220 or are they FD01-26-230 as it seems to vary on the pdf\'s?
This link (http://www.maxcooper.com/rx7/how-to/suspension/pillow_balls/index.html) says they are the 220\'s but in the workshop manual it says they are 230\'s!!!!
any help please??
cheers

I think the toe-links are the 230\'s, Just did a google search for both;)
okay, anyone else just to be sure?, dont want to order them up and they are wrong!
cheers
Have a look on rx7club.com. Malloy mazda are doing a group buy on these for extremely good price. They are expensive parts !!!!
Shaun
also on this pdf
it shows that the one i want to replace is a 230!!! is there actually any difference? or is it just me being really dumb?
i want to replace the bush/bearing that sits in front of the one the bottom of the shock goes into.
cheers
This is the same diagram I used to replace one of my bushes and the part number was correct on this.
The bushes - if I am looking at the correct bit are both the same?
The dust shields on mine where toast so I ordored 2 more which are part number 26-250 - they cost £11.70 for the 2 inc vat.
I think the toe link bush should read 230 and the 6 pillow balls are 220\'s and dust caps are 250\'s
it does say that they are the same but on rx7club it says they are 220\'s and again on that guide i posted up?????
Let us know where you get them and how much as and when you do.
also just another quick question , do you need to change both sides at the same time or can you just do the one side if it has started to wear on its own???
Thanks
Nick
Well I have always changed one at a time (as and when they go) and the car will always feel much better because the broken bushes give excess play in the suspension setup.
About to order my third bush in 14months once I decide which is going. I want to do the entire rearend in one go as I can see me doing 1 every few months :2Confused
Mine didn\'t feel very bad but i was swapping all my bushes and felt it needed to be done. Compaired to the new ones mine where getting very loose but the handling wasn\'t effected. You sometimes are better off swapping the whole lot.

ordered two in the end. one for each side that connects the upper wishbone to the hub. will wait and see when they come through if they are the right ones! ordered through rx motors so should be

How much each were they with the dust seals?
They will be the right ones from RX motors Nick, they fitted mine last year, i think if any more need doing on mine i would give it a go myself,
