Racing Beat offers two different Bushings for the rear swaybars, one for the 04-05RX-8 and one for 06-07 RX-8. What changed starting in 06' with the rear swaybars? Or is the swaybar the same and the mounting different?

 

If I remember correctly............in late 2005 Mazda changed the bushings to a shorter bushing, that was it...............mounting is the same.

When I bought mine from RB, the rear came with four bushings and you only use the two that are the size you currently have.

 

Thanks Mazurfer for the info.

Folks with different extra bushings could probably swap them with each other.

Part # 95828 (04-05 RB rear bushing set) $4 + shipping thru RB
Part # 95997 (06-07 RB rear bushing set) $4 + shipping thru RB

Not a huge savings since you'd probably be ordering front ones also anyway when you replace, but a couple bucks is good.

I'm still torn between RB sways or Progress Tech!

 

I have RB sways and endlinks coming tomorrow. I'm considering just going with a set of energy suspension bushings/clamps with the zerk fittings for the front. I believe they need to be 32mm.

Is anyone aware of a good replacement bushing with zerk fittings for the rear.
