How much for toe links and bushings?
I am having a clunking noise coming from the rear on the left and right side of the car. I hear it predominantly when the car is coasting at 30mph and when i am nearing a stop. I have done some searching on here and have come to the conclusion that its the toe links and bushings that are the culprits. So my question is how much does it cost to get toe links and bushings through the dealer? and can the installation be done with out a mechanic?

Don't come to a conclusion by reading about it.....jack up the wheel on that side and move the wheel. You should be able determine where the clunking is from.
Toe links and trailing arms should be pretty easy to do.
Suspension bushings are expensive -- look here for prices:

Those are list and you can get the parts from Malloy or Mazdaformance for a lot less.

The toe link bushings are replaceable The trailing link or lower link bushing is not ( fd15-28-50x ) =$255 list ea .other bushings run fd01-28-8coa= $52.20,,fd01-26-230= $47.25,,,, fd01-28-460=$69.45,,,fd01-28-461=$9.88,,,fd01-28-42y=$50.35,,,,fd01-28-710a=$47.70,, All list prices, My mechanic buys for net or less .You will need a press to install the bushings . The job is not that hard if you have the press and basic hand tools .
