Toe settings and rear bushes...

[mark-ashley]

Can anyone tell me what the front toe settings for an FD with 18" Wheels would be please ?
 
I have just been to get the tracking done and my friend who runs the tyre shop asked me to find this out before coming down to him, any advice would be greatly appreciated..
 
Second question, whenever i go over a bump at a not so fast speed, the rear of the car really clunks like it might as well have no suspension at all.
 
By all accounts, the suspension is pretty stiff on the car but it sounds to me like maybe one of the rear bushes has gone..
 
Is this a common on FD\'s ?
 
If anyone could come back to me i would greatly appreciate it.
 
Thanks !

Just seen the toe settings in the sticky !
 
Could still do with some advice on the bushes if anyone could enlighten me, thanks !

If the rear clunks then it\'s more likely than not to be the rear pillowballs, pretty common. There are 3 of the larger each side(1 lower arm, 2 upper arm IIRC) and 1 smaller each side (toe link) - all are about £50 each from Mazda, and you\'ll also need new dust seals

If you\'re going for the whole set it may work out cheaper to get them from RHDJapan.

yep, common problem. Mine have just gone

Have a word with Jon @ AtomicRex - he\'s sorting me out a complete new set of bushes. (6 pillowballs + 30 assorted others!!)

I\'ve had all the bushes replaced by AtomicRex. All suspension and steering done and also had all wheels realigned properly. Good job done by ARex. Recommended.
