URGENT – Bushes – Uprated?

[Laeeq]

If you guys are looking for the bushes for upper arm, lower arm,  trailing arm and towlink then i\'ve got them already with bushes on.  They are second hand but in good condition, came off me old car that i am breaking for parts.  

I will be posting more pictures and parts for sale tomorrow with pics.

Spotlamp - do you have a detailed breakdown of the bushes you are including in your price?

I haven\'t got my notes that I made here, but off the top of the head the details are as follows:

Unobtanium kit consists of:
Rear Suspension
Upper control arm - inner bush (2 on each side)
Upper control arm - suspension/shock bush
Lower control arm - inner bush (1 on each side)
Front Suspension
Upper control arm - inner bush (2 on each side)
Lower control arm - inner bush (2 on each side)
*Can\'t remember whether it\'s got the shock bush for the front)
Diff
Diff bush (2)

The other parts were Mazda and were...
Rear Suspension
Upper control arm - outer bush (1 on each side)
Lower control arm - outer bush (1 on each side)
Lower control arm - trailing arm bush (1 on each side)
Trailing arm - Front bush (1 on each side)
Toe link - Inner bush (1 on each side)
Toe link - Outer bush (1 on each side)
Front Suspension
Complete drop links (1 on each side)

Using parts of Mazdatrix and rx7store.net it\'ll cost around £1.3k.  I seriously doubt all of them would need replacing, but for the cost I was thinking what the hell.  It\'s either refresh the entire suspension and make the bugger handle, or pay for a couple of decent 18" wheels

Im just about to order some bushes for mine.

Only need 2 (after mazda said I needed 4 and handed me a pic with 5 circled!! LOL!!)

You can fit them yourself if you have access to a hydraulic press but most places will charge you around £50 to fit PER BUSH!!!

I have also heard that you really cant buy a better performing bush than the OE one and they range from miniumn £42 + vat.  

Just for info my 2 bushes will cost me £120

Just out of curiosity, which 2 are you replacing?

You can fit them easily with a vice! (or a big hammer )

Dont know the names of them im afraid (helpfull man at the garage helped me!

If its any good to you :(stuipid mode.....!)

As you look at the car from the rear there is a suspension part coming up diagonally from middle of hub (LHS) to middle of car where there is a large bush - I think its the Toe link bush??

The other one is on the left rear but dont.  Not sure if it will work but here is a pic of the suspension with the 2 parts in red circle...

Oh B***er! Ill have to upload one over the weekend as im using works puta at mo.

Just out of curiosity, which 2 are you replacing?

Any reason? Do some go more often than others?

[Ricco_04]

Ok try this one :rolleyes:

[Initial-D]

Feed, Mazdaspeed, Cusco, AutoSTAF, R-Magic and RE Amemiya all do various bushe and collar sets although I imagine there a fortune with shipping to the UK.

I\'d like to replace my toe links and control arms along with some uprated body stiffeners, tower bars and anti-roll bars - oh and a full roll cage.... that\'d be nice!!

Theres always something you need for you 7!!

[Ricco_04]

Here is a proper of the ones I is gonna be replacing

The one that looks clean (as we couldnt see for the gunk!)

[Ricco_04]

Ever the great mechanic, I cant remember which on it is here.  Its either the one nearer to the wheel or there is one right behind it!! :rolleyes:

Also, what are all those black marks over the metal?  I have had all the wheels off (never seen any so bad!!) to give them a bloody good clean and I thought they where tar spots but thre all up the suspension?? :confused:
