aftermarket tie rods and tension rods and control arms and questions
do we have aftermarket support for these items???
also, what aftermarket bushings (overall) do you guys recommend for the best bang for the buck? and can someone link me up to the remedy for the loose steering feel? mine's is getting to that point, even when i tightened the gears up is still getting loose over time, which is a temporary solution btw. thanks |
racing beat or mazdatrix have aftermarket control arms as of the tension rods all i did was get energy polyurethane bushings for that and made alignment better just make sure u mark where they were at as of for the loose steering u can try replacing the idler arm bushings on the passenger side if that doesnt work u might have to get a new or used steering box hope that helps

There is not a lot for the front end other than poly, I am working with a machine shop and hopefully will have an option soon, bwaits is also working on some suspension components.
You need to check the FB steering threads, there is one that is more detailed and shows more adjustments to eliminate wander steer. |
Before messing with the steering column, check and replace everything else.
A little bit of play in the wheel bearings, tie rod ends, idler arm, etc. all adds up to significant play in the steering. On your question about aftermarket support, tie rod ends, tie rods, and most other front end bushings / components are available through NAPA or Victoria British. There are also usually items on eBay. |
yeah thanks guys. it seems that mazdatrix, RB, and VB are the resources available... mazdatrix so far is decently priced, but i don't understand why their replacement control arm is very expensive. ill keep on searching.
aussiemg, let us know what new FB parts coming out :) |
btw do you guys know where else to look for bushings and/or bushings kit besides mazdatrix and vb? i haven't checked vb yet though.... i'm trying to get it as cheap as i possibly i can. :)
any help would be appreciated |
