Lower rear FC bushing question.
I need to know if anyone makes a delrin or poly bushing for the lower hole on the rear swing arm/knuckle. Not the front toe/camber bolt or the toe steer or the solid one on the top of the knuckle. I'm talking about the very bottom bolt. Mine is shot and I can't seem to find one other then what appears to be "it" in the mazdatrix kit under "race bushings." I looked at a couple different sites but got nothing. So who makes what?

Or the spherical bushing that is just behind it?

There are only 3 bolts holding on the rear hub and as I already said IT IS NOT THE TOE STEER/DTSS. I really didn't think anyone would need a picture since there are only 3 bolts holding the hub on but here you go. Upper/spherical, lower (problem bushing)and DTSS.

i'm like 99% sure that one is the spherical and the upper one is the bushing.
either way it doesn't matter. once you take out the DTSS bushing the knuckle can't move on the trailing arm. since it can't move any more you can just run a solid bushing or whatever.

Your 99% wrong then. Upper is spherical and lower is bushing. I'd much rather have a harder bushing then a solid. Cars need places to flex A LITTLE so you just don't brake something everytime you hit a bad bump or tap a wall. But it looks like I'm stuck making my own solid bushing anyway since I don't know where to get poly stock at locally.

check it out. upper is bushing and lower is spherical.
when you replace the DTSS bushing everything is going to be solid at that point.
plus you don't want anything squishy in the rear end or else you'll get unwanted alignment changes that will totally suck and be unpredictable.

The stock lower pillow ball was pressed back into place.
It's a spherical but it has dust boots on it to keep the dirt out of there making it look like it's a bushing.
