I am trying to figure out the cost of replacing all the bushings and
bearings on the rear end of a 1993 R1 that I am considering buying and
am using the following page to attempt to figure out the cost.

http://www.mazdatrix.com/h93-95c.htm

The numbers I am getting are a little high - much higher than the
numbers people were reporting in the search that I did. For example,
if you add up all the numbers below, you get a loopy $455.94. I'm
hoping that that is for both sides - it is not clear from the site if
that is per side, in which case the cost would be over $900.

Outer toe link bearing (26-2300-FD01, $47.73)
Inner toe link bearing (28-42Y0-FD01, $50.19)
LCA inner bearing (28-4600-FD01, $72.83)
LCA middle bearing (26-2200-FD01, $61.50)
LCA outer bearing (26-2200-FD01, $61.50)
UCA outer bearing (26-2200-FD01, $61.50)

UCA inner bushing (28-8C0A-FD01, $52.64, 2 per side)
UCA shock bushing (28-710A-FD01, $48.05)

Am I missing something? I realize that there are aftermarket
alternatives for the bushings, but I am not fond of non rubber
bushings on a street car.

TIA

Its not likely that ALL of your bearings are bad. You should get under the car and start wiggling things around. Don't replace bearing that are not worn.
