Are you looking for the arms or bushings? I've found the bushings before.

You know how it is Crit.The Arm,The Leg,The Neck I'll grab whatever I can get my hands on! I haven't seen bushes for the Arm though.Scotts Old Auto Rubber has the Idler Arm Bushes but it says 11.5mm long no Flange or 21mm long Flanged.I'm not sure which I need.I also purchased from them control arm.sway bar & trailing arm bushes.Oh yeah & also Panhard Rod Bushes? I have no clue what they are.

Boy I feel lucky that REPU has same suspension as Courier and B1600. I have a box of MOOG front end parts sitting at home.

The panhard rod is the bar that connects the back right corner of the axle to the left-side wheelwell, behind the axle. It keeps the axle from moving left and right under cornering. The main axle links (and bushings) look to be RX-7 carryover parts, but the panhard bushings are a unique part. I've got tons of parts to order from Scott's, so if you want to combine shipping on your next order, let me know!

I got the last pitman from mazda north america last year but have never been
able to find a idler, other than the bushings which mazda has in stock.
once the threaded part of the idler is worn out looks like i will have to custom
make the brass guts.

Yeah, I added up everything I want to order from Scott's and I'm at $1,040. Damn, that's a good chunk of change.
