mazdaspeedwest is on a distinguished road

Yup! broke the passenger rear bracket once and broke the same side endlink bolt. The bolt may have tightened too much...

i bet your first clue was the scape, scrape around corners, or a loud PING when going slowly over speed bumps ad such

and of course sloppy handling.....

I really tightened my bolts down for the endlinks, hope i dont have one snap.

But what about the brackets and bushings? the "U" ones that mount to the cross member. does it come with those as well?
