Who has bought what from where? I need to tighten up the SE before I finish the TII swap.

 

The whole deal from Mazdatrix. or was it Racing Beat? ****, I don't remember anymore. Yeah, it was Mazdatrix. http://www.mazdatrix.com/h6_79-85.htm

 

I bought all my front-end stuff from Victoria British:

Tension Rod Bushing Kit (x2)
Control Arm Bushing (x2)
Front/Rear End Link With Bushing (x2 to do only the fronts, x4 if you do the rears too)
Sway Bar Bushing (x2)

And that's all I bought for bushings. To tighten up the steering as well I got:
Outer Tie Rod (x2)
Adjusting Sleeve with Nuts (x2)
Inner Tie Rod (x2)
Pitman Arm
Idler Arm
Ball Joint (x2)

I'm EXTREMELY satisfied with the tightness of my front end now. The new VB bushings did a great job of solidifying the front end compared to last year.

For the rears, I've heard it's better to go with rubber in the control arms, because it doesn't bind as easily, so it doesn't encourage the (I think it's oversteer... ) problem.

In the back you'd need:
Front/Rear End Links (x2 just for rears)
Sway Bar Bushings
Watts Link Bushing Set
Control Arm Bushings

I don't think you need anything else in the rear. The bushings from VB are polyurethane. The only place I've found rubber ones is the dealership.

Got some mazdatrix urethane front lower control arm bushings sitting on the couch right now. Going in tomorrow.

 

I bought mine from Suspension Restoration. $138 for sway bar bushings, sway bar endlinks, control arm bushings, tension rod bushings, ball joint boots and tie rod boots. Very happy with everything! Did Tokico shocks and suspension technigue springs at the same time. All told, it cost $463.90 with 82transam, inittab and myself doing the work and 4 hours.
