New Steering Stuff (Pics)

Not a huge deal, but I wanted to show off the pictures of my new Moog steering setup. I cleaned up and repainted my original center link and clearcoated all the cast-iron tie rod ends and steering arms to keep them from rusting and make 'em easier to clean. I'm thinking of painting the pitman/idler arms black and clearcoating them too...not as fond of the dark metal as I am of the lighter tie rod color. Working at a parts store is so nice sometimes...ordered all this stuff and had it at 3:30 pm the same day for $148.34 (including the paint).

I'm cleaning and prepping the engine bay for paint before I install all these goodies...anyone who's done this got any great prep/paint tips? Thanks guys- A

Did you replace the bushings in the passenger side mount? I think mine are shot and causeing most of the play in my steering. I just was curious if you could still purchase those from Mazda or not.

You can basically buy any part for your rex from mazda--only problem is they charge up the a$$, and you'll probably have to wait for the part to ship in...
