Hey all, I not too long ago bought my rx8 and after its MOT this April I got an advisory for a loose offside anti roll bar link. After looking at it myself, I found what it was on about but for the life of me, I can’t find what the part is. I included a short video of the part so hopefully someone can let me know what it is. I have tried searching up everything but to no avail. I bought a new anti roll bar linkage and went to fit it but it is completely the wrong part so I have no idea what it is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

That's the stock front antiroll bar linkage. What part were you sent?

 

The little blue thing is what’s broken. I bought the front right anti roll bar linkage which is definitely not what that part is.

 

You replace the entire linkage, not just the blue bushing thing. Part number : F151-34-150. https://www.mazda-parts.com/oem-part...link-f15134150
But it sounds like you were sold something else entirely?

 

That is the exact part I have. Does it bolt into where that bushing is and where that little arm bolts onto as one piece instead of two separate ones like what’s on there now?

 

You remove the 2 broken parts from the sway bar and the control arm and replace that with the part you received, to connect the two.

 

Thank you, I thought I got the wrong part. But why is the new part different from the oe part?

 

Not sure I follow, you said you received the OE part?. Can you show the part you recieved?

 

The part in the link you sent is the one I have which is one piece whereas the one on my car is in two pieces. As you can see from the video.

 

Yours is in two pieces because it is broken.

 

Ah. That makes sense. I think what was confusing me is the new one has like a little cap on it covering the four prongs which are exposed on the original one which was making me think it was a different part. Thanks for you help
