Those are the pillow ball bushes.  Get new ones direct from Mazda, powerflex and super pro don\'t make replacements for these bushes.  They are about £60 each from memory.

Malory mazda in USA used to do a very good offer on pillow bushes for members of rx7club. The offer may still exist.

Yes, you have 3 pillow balls each side with the part number FD01-26-220 and 1 each side FD01-26-230 which is the lower arm toe link bush.  

Most often its the outer upper and lower pillow balls that are knocking
