Hey Guys

So I've almost got my car back to a rolling state but I need help getting one last bushing... I found them from black dragon and I'm sure I can get it from mazda, but the little steel collar was taken out before going to powder coat and I can't find that it is sold separate from the whole trailing arm. It wasn't with my energy "master bushing set" and if possible I'd rather stay with polyurethane since the rest of the bushings are. Just not sure where to look so if anyone has an answer I would very much appreciate it.

Thanks
Jordan

I believe those are the DTSS bushings.

Those bushings to not come with any master kit or kit.

you have to buy those seperatly.

DTSS eliminator bushings.

hope that helps

The DTSS bushing is on the lower-front of the floating hub assembly; the bushing you appear to need is simply called the trailing arm bushing in the FSM. I don't know if the trailing arm bushing is available from Mazda or aftermarket suppliers separately - I had a look at Mazdatrix' site and didn't find it, unless it's in the complete bushing kit they sell. I do know DTSS bushings are only available as part of a complete floating hub assembly ($$$, but I recommend using much cheaper DTSS eliminator bushings if the car will be tracked, or unless a person is willing to spend big to restore the stock passive rear steering the DTSS bushings create). It's possible this one only comes with the trailing arm, although it seems unlikely.

good eye, I did a quick look over.

Years ago there was a company that offered the 3 bushings needed ( well they offered all the rear subframe busshings ) in hardened poly .

try googling subframe parts and they will come up.

Well I have the MMR bushings and the energy suspension master bushing kit and neither include that bushing. I have the DTSS eliminators. I can get the rubber bushing from mazda but there's a steel collar that comes only with the complete trailing arm. I'm not sure where to go from here but any info would be great.

If they're anything like the ones that came out of it, they aren't going back in. I'll have to get something figured out quick...

you can measure the diameter and length with the inner diameter and match it to existing bushings.

I did this decades ago with a similar bushing on a rx7. worse comes to worse make your own bushing, but I would leave this as my LAST resort . matching to exisiting bushing will be much better( even if its solid or smaller inner diameter this you can fix
