Quite a few of us with FDs suffer from clunking suspension. What are some of the causes of clunking?

 

Crappy bushings, hehe.

 

Yep some of jimlabs bushings would cure that up.

 

How much do Jimlab's bushings go for?

 

I HAVE A SET OF NYLON BUSHINGS FROM JIM. THEY COST ME ABOUT 500.00 IN A GROUP BUY

 

Clunking because the bushings are actually spherical bearings that develop play (read wear out) after some time.

There are various suspension bushings that can wear out and cause clunking. It is very common to have the toe link bushings and rear lower control arm bushings to wear out and begin clunking. I don't think JimLab has bushings for these locations. You must buy Mazda parts.

 

Bushings and wheel bearings. Jim's bushings are a nice upgrade, but they do not address any of the clunky parts.

Here's how to do the spherical bushings in your driveway:
