i'm going to replace my tension rod bushings this week on my 85 GSL and was wondering what bushings you guys used. i saw a nice set that mazdatrix carried. a nice polyurethane set. they look very simple to replace. anyone run into any snags when changing them or anything to look out for?

Polys are the best way to go. Look out for rusted cups where the bushings seat. The seats should be clean and smooth prior to install, they may need sanding and painting first.

Pay attention to the position of the nuts, it will affect alighnment.

well, if thats all, than it should be a snap. kinda reminds me of doing the sway bar end links.

Sounds easy, they don't always come of that way, depending on rust.
