NC front bushing replacements?
Discussion
As some of you may have read in previous thread, I've got to replace the lower control arms, I have sourced some used ones in good condition and cleaned them up. Whilst off the car, I'm planing to change the bushing on both control arms and replacing the ARB drop links.
The upper control arms have two bushes on each side, I'll use power flex replacements (PFF36-403).
I'm going to use Powerflex purple for the two major ones on lower arm:
PFF36-400
PFF36-401
There is also a lower damper bush (in lower control arm). I was planning to just use the Mazda OEM, they're £18 each.
Just wondering if any advice on whether there is a better alternative to the OEM or Powerflex?
And finally, I'll replace the Track Rod Ends whilst I'm there, so the front end is totally refreshed. There are cheap ones for c£15 each and the Mazda OEM ones are £120 for a pair. Very mixed reviews on the after-market generic ones.
Any experience in this would be gratefully received.
