Rear bushes (need one)

[Paul1982]

My rear upper wishbone\'s lower bush has gone - where would I be able to get one?? Plus is it ok just to replace the bush or can\'t you buy them seporatly?

[Ricco_04]

The vendors at the top should be able to help you there bud.  I have another one to replace again!  Should be around £50 per bush.

So if i buy one of them Powerflex ones - with one would i need as I need the Rear upper wishbone\'s lower bush???

Sounds like your talking about a pillowball bush which is a spherical bearing type and powerflex dont do them need to be a mazda part.
As Ricco said they cost £50 its also on my todo list.

Sounds like its a pillowball from your description. Theres a picture at the bottom of this link that should help you decide which it is that you need:

Just done the whole rear set of bushes...and it wasn\'t cheap even with Tim\'s help who does them cheaper than everyone else:
 
Powerflex bushes £225 ish
6 large pillowballs £30 + VAT each
2 small pillowballs £30 + VAT each
2 large towlink Mazda bushes £40 + VAT ish each
 
+ fitting....aargghh
 
But the car is a different animal now. No knocks at the back and it is no longer skittish - worth a grand? I\'m not sure

[RobbieRX-7]

A grand? you serious? Have you had it realigned too

[andysmee]

yeah, due to the wisdom of MRC I couldn\'t edit that bit after I wrote it (my paltry ten minutes was up)
 
It was a grand including the secondhand Teins but not including re-aligning the whole lot at the end...so actually the bushes cost about £700 fitted
 
Needless to say, if you can do it yourself, then do. I am pretty grumpy about it, and not sure if I would have started it if I had understood the whole cost...but with the suspension change I probably saved on labour!

I know what you mean, I suppose you could always look at it from the point of view of with old knackered bushes it could have thrown you off the road and you have hopefully eliminated this
