Headlight Retractor Linkages

I took my headlight retractor motors out of the RX7 to clean the engine bay. In doing this, I ended up breaking the plastic ball sockets on the main arm that connects the rotating arm of the motor to the pivot link. This is Arm 'A' if you have the parts manual handy.

Does anyone know if these ball sockets are available separately from Mazda or do you have to buy the whole arms. The second question is, are the arms even available from Mazda anymore?

Thanks!

They are available as a whole only.

Also check blackdragonauto.com

I would not recommend used ones as the bushing always break apart.
