It's time for inspection and I went to get my car checked by this dealer place in town and they said I needed a bar link kit but they wanna charge me $70 for it.
I dont' know wtf they are talking bout but I just wanted to know if I could purchase it myself..... Polyurathane?????

thanx in advance!

Yeah thye are most likely talking about the end-link bushings, you can buy those online for like 8-12 bucks almost anywere. Oh yeah mine are shot too

Elchulo

Well I got under the car today and replaced my pads so I finally go to look at what the thumping is all about. The right boot is torn (I expected it) and imma take some time tomorrow to fix it.

Does anyone know how I can find those end link things on the car so I can replace them!?!

mazda disciple

at the end of your sway bar

Elchulo

OH ok those rubber things! Well I don't understand how they are worn b/c they just look really dirty to me
OH well do they have polyurethane kits for it b/c if it's that easy imma do it myself!!????

mazda disciple

yep they do. Also you might want to ask the dealership to be more specific as to what they are talking about and have them physically show you the problem. Try prothane.com for the bushings should be 8-12 bucks u.s.

I went to napa and bought the sway bar link bolts and bushings for 14 bucks new. So it's not expensive and there are extremly easy to change took me 1/2 hour on a lift.

Elchulo

Yah I'm not gonna let these guys do it b/c I found the kit for 20bucks and I think I can handle the task of installing it...

N E one with any trouble shooting info that has done this?

mazdaspeedwest

put the car on jack stands, and use the jack to unweight the suspension as you remove each endlink bolt so they don't spring ya in the noodle

Elchulo

how do I install a CV BOOT???

mazda disciple

just replace the whole axle lol its the same amount of work.

Elchulo

Yah I would do that but how much would that cost?!?!? that's the ?!

mazda disciple

umm not that it will be the same price but I got the driver side axle for my 91 crx for 99 bucks complete from raxles and the service was AWESOME they gaurntee the axle forever regarless of why it failed. Infact I had ruined mine by not connecting properly and he sent me a new with no shipping cost however i did have to mail the old back. Any ways they are great and treated me with alot of respect and the guy on the phone races a miata too. Good luck Give them a call at 1-800-257-8192 they are located in florida so it might take a few days to get too you.

Go to your local parts store. I paid $100 CDN after core return for a half shaft. I remember some guys in the US saying they bought it in the $60-70 range after core return...
