Does anyone Make a Rear Lower Control Arm for FD??
 
I was wondering if anyone knows a company that makes rear lower control arms for the FD i know Atomicrex does but the only problem is that their arm only works with their trailing arms, and to buy their whole kit is a little out of my budget range. If not i guess ill end up getting theirs just thought i would ask as i cant seem to find anything online.

Then buy new bushings and paint and DIY :scratch:

Not sure what's wrong with the look, but there are no issues with either the strength or weight of the stock unit—with new bushings, it's a perfectly good unit so you'd just be "upgrading" for the sake of upgrading.

Have it polished, powdered, or anodized if you're really concerned.

I also believe AtomicRex, on these forums, is designing a rear lower A-Arm replacement, but unless your doing heavy track time, I'd say it's a waste of your money. Mazda designed one of the best suspensions in the FD.

If you don't want to go with polyurethane, factory bushings can be found here: http://www.mazdatrix.com/h93-95c.htm

As far as the arm goes, steel wool & a little work makes them look better than any paint..... IMO

where did u get the poly bushings for the arm

I purchased the full Power Flex kit from JKL. Pricey, but well worth it.

They also offer the Super Pro kit in pieces or as a whole. I would contact them about availability.

If you run poly in a few links, you might as well do the entire car & know they are all taken care of, thus my reasoning for the entire Power Flex kit. It's also a great time to replace those pillow ball bushings as well. Ray at Malloy Mazda gave me a great deal on them. $430 for the 6 with dust covers. I won't BS you, it is a big undertaking, but your car will never feel so fresh when finished...... well worth it. ;)
