Are you talking about the large bushing on the spindle that has the huge 21mm head bolt going through it? That is you DTSS bushing.

Is it that black one in the picture i have of the rear hub? You can get a new one at mazdatrix, racing beat, MMR or ebay (PDRMOTORSPORTS, I got most of my bushings from him). The new bushing will not be rubber, it will be solid and will eliminate the rear toe steer feature, which is no big deal and alot of people prefer it eliminated.

EDIT: I forgot I got the DTSS bushings from MMR, PDR from ebay doesn't carry them....

jjcobm - Put a rear sway bar on the car. The low powered N/A cars need it to rotate.

Just get the DTSS eliminator bushings. They are $40 from MMR with free shipping and $48 from Mazdatrix. You don't want the DTSS anyway.

You will want to get those bushing pressed in at a machine shop, if you don't have the proper tools.... I know the guy who did mine must of be swearing at me for giving him those to put in : )
