This is the rear toe link from an FD, it has a bush at either end.

Bead blasted, they come up like new, but I’d only do it before a bush change as you don’t want all that grit anywhere near the bushes.

It depends if you want Mazda ones or not, I went for Superpro ones.
They are not too bad to change but I did have a hydraulic press which made it much easier. The other way is with long bolts, washers etc.

Tony, these are the 6 pillow balls, and I\'ve marked the 2 lower inner arm bushes too as these were the only other ones I needed that were OEM rather than Superpro. I got mine from Ray Lowe in the US for a very good price but I would think you can get them without too much trouble here.

I have my own small sandblast cabinet (EBay special), needed a bit of fixing up but works well, although it\'s not quick.
