Subframe replacement/upgraded bushings (not solid)
so my rear subframe bushings are shot... with coilovers and good allignment im getting excessive wheel hop STILL and also have gotten under and done some measurements... subframe has shifted to the passenger side by 8mm... this is my main concern... wheel hop i can deal with under loss of traction however the total rear track shifting to one side is crap especially considering my 10.5 +22's get here this week...
i have googled, searched this forum and others however can only find a few references to solid mounts being used in the subframe... does anyone know of a polyurethane or derlin/rubber replacement subframe mount kit? failing all of the above i guess i will need to order from mazdapartsonline and get the factory rubber crap and pay an arm and a leg!

factory rubber is not crap, in fact when you think about it, it last all these years before it finally gave up.
polyurethene will make your ride harsh (a bit) and they do not exactly last forever
So only thing u can do is replace the frame mount, don't remember how much exactly but it's something like 300 ?

so factory mazda mounts are the only option then?
tried finding them on mazdapartsonline and saw no listing... just the whole subframe for $1200... i just need replacement mounts!

Voids warranties
I think 3SX can refill your existing bushing mounts with new polyurethane. They do a lot of Mistu. stuff but it looks like they used to refurbish old mounts with new filling. Might be worth looking into.

yeah... as you can see no part numbers associated for the bushes that go into the subframe (28-800) it looks as though its one complete piece...
aftermarket is now my only option but seems as though no one makes them either
