      Hey,question for you guys.I was cleaning up some lateral links and noticed I have 8 bushings for the rear bushing kit 4 for the lateral links I'm assuming,and what the hell are the other 4 for? Ithought they were for the trailing arms originally but they are nowhere near the correct size.What gives?

        you need all 8 for the ttl's. 4 per side. 2 per lateral link 4 lateral links total = 8

              I've installed the front LCA bushings on my wagon and noticed a good improvement in stability at highway speeds. The lateral link kit is still sitting on the shelf in the garage waiting.

                    Those would be the ones, I'll have to go in and ask. Any chance that they have to be gtx specific or will any bf 323 ones work? BG ones?

                      they are specific to the BF and readily available from Mazda. I cannot answer base/GT (same) vs GTX. I know the GTX lateral arms are different.

                      I bought the entire rear subframe hardware set, from mount bolts, to every bolt, washer, nut, cup and cover. Dang close to $200 later.. yep they are available... ouch...

                      I need to call Tony or Clint at Turn In and see if they can get more bushings... I've got another subframe sitting in the garage I need to rebuild.

                          I haven't attempted the rears yet. I've got some other vehicles that need attention first. If I have the same problem with the spacers that you have I'll make you a set of spacers to make everything fit.

                            my pro is a 94 will the zx2 Es bushing kit fit? I read somewhere here 90-93 had smaller front lca shells? I know the rack bushings and the sway bar mounts won't fit but I just wanna know if the front will fit before I buy .

                              Hey guys, I need to replace my bushings for the rear trailing links in my 88 GTX, Not exactly sure what ones I`ll need. Do these look like the right ones?

                              Or is there a bushing kit that has both Trailing link and lateral link bushings, might need to replace those also.
