FD rear suspension help...
So my 1994 FD rear end / suspension... it all seems to pop and it feels like it moves from one side to the other when I am turning. I have been driving with this for a good bit now and am fed up with it. It's time for bushings of some sort... Thoughts? Who do you recommend for bushings for the rear of the car? Does anyone make kit's for our beloved FD's? Or is this a fairly common problem with FD's?...

You can install them your self if you have jack stands and basic tool

Do you have a clunking sound coming from the rear? Worn out pillowbalsl in the rear are a very common problem wiht the FD.
About the movement from the rear, I had pretty violent movement at 60+mph and after putting the car on a lift, I found out a few of the suspension arms' bolts were loose. It was pretty scary while driving and I was glad I found the problem before something really bad happend.

Tow link bushing $237.40
lower contraol arm $459.12
upper control arm $511.38
Trail arm bushing is not sold seperate, you have to buy a new arm , pair of arms $544.50
Mazdaspeed diff bushings $180.00
12 dust seals $98.88
Do the math.... $2031.28 in mazda parts alone
12 dust seals $98.88
Then add in the labor to press out all the bad bushing/pillow ***** and install the new ones... More $$$
and then the labor to install them if you want someone else to do it...

I can get six pillow ball bushings for $52 a piece.. Less than 565.. Only problem is I don't need all of that.. Just the pillow ball bushings for the rear.. But I do appreciate the offer..

At lease back in 1999 you could. I have them in mine. The steel inner sleave is about twice as thick as stock and the rubber is harder.
