ARGGGGG! Sorry.... had to get that off my chest.
There is no replacement to put it back to stock short of spending megabucks on whatever the part is called, subframe, hub...whatever I forget!!!!! No, I don't think you can make your own otherwise Mazdatrix or Racing Beat or half a dozen other companies would have done it. They don't break, it's a bushing and it gets old and squishy to put it simply so the system doesn't work as well as it did new. Most people don't drive the car hard enuff to use it in the first place so they will never know if it's worn out or not. If you think they are worn out or don't like the idea of what it does then put in the eliminators.

Check out Mazdatrix..they have DTSS eliminators..The Toe Bushings~i just replaced them when I did a 5 -lug Swap..The 21mm bolt that goes onto the control arm and the Rear hub assambly was a Total B%$#H!!..it took the bushing with it..when I went to MAZDA to get a replacement,they Said "you have to order the whole assembly@ 438CDN..".WTF?..then I did some searching.. WWW.MAZDATRIX.COM ..sec gen ..rear suspension..(then go where ya want)..Trust me on this one,Madza wants you to order all new parts.NO!..you can get the Bushing replaced..AND the toe eliminators Work Great..(30-40 bucks..well spent)

I just got my latest FC finished up, which has only 50 k on it. The DTSS is fully operational and I'm not sure what to think of it. It's much better than old worn out DTSS. I have a set of RB eliminators, which I haven't decided if I'm going to use them. Don't ask if they are for sale. My closest friend bought them as a Christmas gift. I'd feel wrong selling them. As far as I know, you have to buy the whole hub assembly to get the bushings. They are not available separately.
