i'd almost bet they will, especially the 79-80, which have the same type swaybar and lower control arms.

yeah, well my friend has an rx3....don't know what year, but he has been looking for years for these things, and he can't find someone that makes them, so I thought that maby the older rx7 ones would fit his rx3.

thanks for the input rxtasy3

Any luck??

I'm dying over here... My Rx3's front end is pretty floppy. I wish I could get rid of everything under there!

Try pedders suspension



http://www.pedders.com.au/catalogue/...DA.&model=2245

I was able to replace everything except the pitman arm and only a rebuild kit for the iddler arm


The RX7 tie rods end do not fit.

There are two types - early RX3's up to 74 I think, and later ones (inlc 808's). You can still buy them here in NZ. RX7 ones are not the same at all.

www.Rockauto.com still have plenty of suspension parts for Rx3. tie rod from 21.00 bucks to 24.00 bucks.

I got my tie rod ends inner and outer and ball joint, they all so have control arm bushings.

Reviving this thread to ask about INNER tie rod ends for 76.
Parts books show two different inner tie rod ends for left and right (obsolete, of course). I've bought a 77 listing for the left from RockAuto. It truly looks identical to the right side. Threads are the same.
Anyone know why parts books show two different INNER tie rod ends for 76 RX3 which is altogether different from 77-78?

Guys, there's a lot of tierod ends listed on ebay Australia at the moment. Search "Mazda 808" and they're on pages 2 and 3.
