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

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
