where? replacement rear susp rubber bushings
 
I've been looking for some replacement rear links rubber bushings, can someone tell me where to find them? Both mazdatrix and vb only sells poly ones... I'm looking for soft rubber so i can replace them while i do the pb&j rear suspension mod...

whats wrong with the poly o nes?

they tend to bind the rear suspension, most racers/aftermarket shops don't recommend using polys in the rear.

I am having Delrin made for mine, they are much harder than poly and self lubricating, making fronts also.

Just the uper links.
Polly is fine for the lower links, end links, and watts linkage.

But having hard upper link bushings is BAD... They cause the suspension to bind...

Not if youre changing the upper links length to match the lower.

Yup... Though you might want to take a look at the PB&J writeup too...
