Rear Upper control arm options?
Hey guys, I was told by my mechanic I need to replace the bushings on my rear upper control arms. I was thinking maybe I am better of just buying a set of after market complete ruca's instead of just replacing the bushings. I was just wondering what you guys have done in similar situations and what my options are here. Also what would be a good site to order some new bushings or rear upper control arms from?
Thanks in advance

Check with the organizer of this Group Buy:

He might be able to point you in the right direction.

The upper control arms take very little load - it's rather unusual that your upper bushings would be worn out.
Given that, I'd put new stock bushings in and call it a day. Going aftermarket won't have much effect in the upper arm. The trailing arm, toe link, and lower arm are where it's at.

hmmm maybe I got confused and he said rear lower control arms. That bushing kit looks good, im going to see if I can get it, looks like they might be sold out right now though. Anyone have a usefull mazda site where I can order these bushings for both my rear lower and upper control arms if I cant get the other kit?
Thanks

could anyone tell me why the superpro bushing kit only comes with 4 rear upper control arms bushings when you need 6. There are three bushings in each control arm, totalling 6 bushings and the kit only comes with four???
