Bushings for Stock class autox
Howdy,
So... Our CS RX-8 has 80k miles on it and is within shouting distance of being 10 years old. What's the scoop with suspension bushings on these cars? Should I be thinking about possible replacement as PM? Can I change just the bushing, or do I need the whole arm or ?? Any bushings in particular take a beating? Again, for Stock/Street class autox. Changing bushings to Poly or whatever isn't allowed. Thanks! Mark |
Front, LCA bushings have separate part #s, available on mazdamotorsports. Front UCA, and rear links don't seem to. That also corresponds to my memory of removing all the bushings a few years ago, only the front LCAs could be pressed out/in. Others were bonded/glued.
FWIW, Although I replaced most with poly, I did find several bushings (75k miles) on the front and rear which had tearing, and would have undoubtedly benefitted from even stock replacement arm/bushings. --Ivan https://mazdamotorsports.com/wcsstor...16651_1000.gif https://mazdamotorsports.com/wcsstor...72FD2_1000.gif |
Howdy,
Thanks! I'd looked at the parts diagram, but hadn't noticed the front LCA bushings were separate. Any bushing in particular that were bad on your car? I suppose I need to just stick the thing in the air and check them. Mark |
