84 Suspension Work

Anyone know where I can find an 84 Idler Arm...that doesn't cost a buck twenty-five?

1994 Mazda RX7 Idler Arm

Usually you can just replace the bushings, 1524-32-329B, even at full retail its $20 for both

The bushings were harder too find (many unavailable), than the arm.

Finally found two; I've got them on the way.

Thanks!

Not the one near me. Tried them. Their parts book doesn't even go back that far; according to them.

You have to walk in with the part number then they can order it (if it's still available). Their book only goes back to 1986 now.

I got two bushings off the interwebs.

Had them installed.

All is right with the world.
