Hey where can i buy the Headlight Rod Bushings at? i dont want to have to buy the Whole Rod W/ bushing. thanks

 

More than likely you'll have to check out the For Sale/Want to Buy section of this forum. Thankfully, my parts guy had a spare headlight motor that came with the linkage and bushings.

 

ok kool i will put a post up on the Buy Section

 

black dragon auto

 

I want to say that someone posted that they replaced the plastic bushings with rubber ones they found that fit. They needed greased occasionally IIRC, but that would only take about 1 minute every so often to do.

 

My lights work fine, but i never drive at night, lol. So that is an option

 

ya iv checked Black Dragon already they dont have the bushings by them selfs to buy, they make you buy the Whole Rods W/ bushings in them

 

ya a friend down the Road from me told me that he Bought Rubber Bushings to replace the Plastic ones on his 944 Porshe headlight Rods.

 

Just buy the whole linkage arm and have it done right, couldnt cost more than 9-10 bucks

 

the arms with bushings are pretty pricey. to my knowledge, the bushings are not available without the arms.

 

i know where! go to this link: http://mazdatrix.com/n-6.htm it is at the top of the page. i just ordered mine a few weeks ago by phone and they are very friendly as always. it says there is one but i got a pair of the long ones that i needed for my car. it comes with bushings.

 

Ouch, that's expensive. I paid only $20 for my headlight motor and it came with all the linkage.

 

Yep, I had to buy the whole arm from Mazdatrix because one of the bushings broke.

 

Some salvage yards might have one too.

 

Sweet thanks ill check em out

 

search. i think i remember someone mentioning being able to get some from a parts store for about $1 a piece.

 

Well Poop i just bought 1 from the dealer ship for 37 bucks but i gess i will check it out for the other side so i wont have to spend another 37 bucks. what kind of parts store like a Pep boys,Autozone etc..., or something like Lowes?

 

well for that much money you spent, you would have had a set if you bought it from mazdatrix. they are genuine mazda parts and are nice and shiny too

 

i would definatly be interested to know which parts store it was.

 

I'm not sure if you needed a short or long headlight rod, but if you need a short one with bushings, here are four of them that I found for you for $16 shipped: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1979-...2649QQtcZphoto
I have bought from Apex Auto a few times and they provide excellent service.

 

I have a storage unit full of parts... If you can wait till the weekend? I can see what I have.
