Where can i find rear triaxial bushing replacement ???

Like the title says, I'm looking to replace my worn rear triaxial bushings.
Besides the oem and polyurethane ones from Mazdatrix: https://www.mazdatrix.com/h6_86-92.htm . Is there another alternative ?

whiteline also has the top circled one. With a clever trick built in for camber adjustment.

I was thinking the same. It would be nice since almost everyone eliminated the rear wheel steering. Mine had no freeplay, so I just left it. I did the solid powered by max one

There dont seem to be any aftermarket replacement parts for the bottom spherical bushing... In the end, for the bottom I ordered oem bushings from Mazda and seals from Atkins, And the top bushing, I ordered whiteline bushing part#KCA379

The bottom spherical is fine unless it has slop in it. Without DTSS it will never ever move. I have the PBM solid upper bushing.

Update...

I have 1 bottom spherical bushing that absolutely needs to be replaced, the ball doesn't sit properly in the sleeve, it's completely loose, no b/s. Today I was struggling with it for a few hours and just said enough for today... In the mazda manual, it says to remove the rubber seals, a snap ring and take a 20mm pipe and gently tap it out... I tried hitting a 20mm regular and impact socket with a snap-on 20oz hammer and i tried press fitting the 20mm socket on one side with a 33mm socket on the other with a long enough bolt and it still did not budge, WTF ???

Anybody ever replaced this bushing or even attempted to replace this ? Any help would be greatly appreciated

The bottom is a pillow ball Mazda part number FB01–26–230, once you get the snap ring off just press the old one out it doesn't matter if you destroyed in the process if you are replacing anyway

I have a spare set brand-new in the bag let me know if you're interested

Use a long large bolt and a large socket. Press the bushing into the socket as you tighten the bolt.

Snap ring is out and it still won't budge? Soak it in penetrating lube and heat the spindle up before you try hammering or pressing
