Title: Rear upper arm bush
Post by: Waddock on May 14, 2007, 12:15:52 PM

Hi,

I have just taken all the front and rear suspension off so I can replace my worn bushes. So far everything has come apart and all the purchased polyflex bushes fit in nicely.

However it would seem that a "Full Suspension" bush kit from polyflex does not inlcude the bush on the upper rear arm that connects to the wheel hub. Does any body know if this is a replaceable bush or if I need to replace the whole arm. The bush does not seem to push out of the arm the same way as the others, it appears to be glued in. (and very worn out!). The other bushes just tap the centre metal piece out and then fall off the arm.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Ben

Where did you get that from? I wish I had this last week :)

That answeres my question, OEM part only! So now I need to get hold of 26-250, SPF2680K, SPF2675K & SPF2676K . I take it that the first part number is a Mazda part number? and the last three are super pro bushes?

Beware the guy on ebay selling full polyflex bush kits are "almost" full polyflex bush kits! I will post the ebay seller ID after I have confirmed this with him via email so no one else ends up like this.

Thanks for the link, unfortunately your link to the PDF diagrams a failing with error 404 page cannot be found. However the contents list confirms that I am indeed missing a couple of items from the kit. It would appear that my "Full" kit is missing rear upper wishbone outer bush. I will email the ebay seller and find out where it has gone.

I appreciate you pointing me in the correct direction.

The 26-250\'s are the infamous pillowball bushes. BTW I got that diagram from the rx7club group buy where I got all my Superpro bushes.
I have them all ready to go in including all the oem ones, so if you need to know what I have and the part numbers ect let me know and I\'ll do a complete list.

No probs..... Does it deserve discount on any parts I order from you ;)

I will call you tommorow to order these missing bushes. The diagram on your site is very clear and easy to understand. Just what i need.
