Correct, Mazda does not sell the DTSS bushing. I have heard on good authority it is because Mazda believes that only they are qualified to install them correctly. The bushing is specially calibrated to deflect at the proper rate for the DTSS to function. Installed incorrectly could result in some rather interesting rear toe issues...Though I wish they did sell it, as I just went through the same thing.

In most cases, modern tires make DTSS a detriment instead of an advantage. Or so I have been told.
