Rear Control Arm Bushing replacement help needed
Rear Control Arm Bushing replacement help needed
Hoping someone can help me out with this. I am presently in the process of rebuilding the rear suspension and I have a question about replacing the two bushings that are pointed out in the attached picture. I do not believe they come in any of the kits. Does anyone know if that are available from either Mazdatrix, MazdaSpeed...or wherever?
Neither one looks too bad, but since I am replacing almost everything back there I figured I should do it all if possible. Anyone have any tips on removing & replacing theses?

The upper mount is a bushing, and the lower is a pillow ball. They were used in combination with the DTSS to allow the hub to move. I was thinking about making some aluminum or UHMW replacements since I have the DTSS eliminators, but I figure since they don't move anymore they should last a long time.
Upper Bushing: FB01-26-220
Lower Pillow ball: FB01-26-230
FB01-26-250 (Two per side)
It will end up costing around $70/ side from Mazda Motorsports.

The bushing at the top is, I believe, the DTSS bushing (i.e., pillow ball bearing), which is held in with snap rings. These bushing are available from Mazda. I bought replacement bushings for my car, but haven't yet gotten to the job. The bottom bushing, I believe, is pressed in. There should be no need to change this bushing unless it is damaged. This bushing is also available from Mazda.

Thanks - as longas they are available from Mazda I might just replace them along with everything else I'm doing. That way the whole suspension will have the clock turned back.
