bushing kit
hey guys i am looking for the whole bushing kit for my 93 fd. i been looking around em for while havnt had any luck.. so any help would be apperciated alot! thanks guys
good luck finding that. Most of them are probably already installed in the car. I don't think Jilab is doing another batch anytime soon. I have a brand new set sitting at my house that I haven't touched but I'm not willing to give it away for anything less than $850 (simply because of waiting for another GB).

What kind of bushing kit are you looking for, pillow ball, nylon (jimlab), Mazdaspeed, or OEM? If you are looking to get either a pillow ball or MazdaSpeed kit I have access to them.
I have been thinking og seeing if there would be interest in a GB for a pillow ball kit, and if there is I would glady set one up.

The main problem with the toe control links is the inner bushing, the outer bushing is a pillow ball and very durable, when most people have the clunking rearend its either coming from the inner bushing (since filled with rubber), trailing arm (rubber) or worn pillow ***** (the 6 typically replaced in the rear). Most likely it coming from one of the 6 pillow *****, yet they replace the toe control links thinking that is the problem.
With that said, I would consider it if there is enough interest, although I would be working on a new design. Or just a replacement inner bushing for the toe control link.

I believe what you stated is Jimlabs bushing kit.Most JDM pillow ball kits include the following:
(4) front lower control arm bushings
(4) front upper control arm bushings
(4) rear upper control arm bushings
(2) rear upper control arm shock mount bushings
(2) front trailing arm bushings
(2) inner toe control link bushings
Total:18
A few include all of the above, plus:
(2) inner rear lower I-arm bushings
Total:20
Then there is a company that makes replacement metal on metal pillow ***** (the 6 we always replace with OEM pillow *****).
Mazdaspeed makes upgraded bushings (65-75 duro rating, not sure what stock is) for all links and suspension components.

Which list are you refering to? Naturally with 100K miles on the chassis, the more you can replace the better, but it also depends on your goals for the car.
The bushings that you "could" leave and not effect the handling as much would be the 4 upper front and 4 upper rear bushings, since these carry close to no vertical load.
I bought a set of Jimlab bushings(minus the differential bushings) from the 3rd gen section for $500. rx7.com sells Solid Nylon differental bushings for $120.00 and have them in stock.
