custom ES crossmember and shifter rod bushing idea. Help needed!

[Mazda_Powered]

The one crossmember that supports the lower engine mounts. There are bushings at the lower rad support and at the rear by the LCAs. SRD use to sell some poly ones, now discontinued.

I know www.suspension.com has a bunch of custom flange/4-bar bushings and custom body mount bushings.

If someone could measure a spare set of those crossmember bushings, it would be greatly appreciated as Canada is really rough on rubber!!! As i'm sure other members would be happy as well.

This could also work for the shifter rod bushings (not the stationary) but those 4 little bushings on our shift linkage. I know zxtuner sells a kit of 4 for $24!!!! SUPER EXPENSIVE!!!!

So if someone wants to measure the shiftlinkage bushings and inner shiftlinkage tubing would help out dearly too!

Thanks...

JACK!

Maz1.8t still does the Nyloil shifter bushings. I can't say a single bad thing about them that's for sure.

Now the cross member bushings I would love to get a set of. I'm working this weekend so i can't just drop if off to measure them.

For reference, here's what measurements Energy Suspension gives us. Here are both 4-bar and body mount.

To Jack:
I should have some of these bushings laying around in my storage so if you can wait a week, I'll go measure them for you.

To John:
R u serious? you will be parting your EGTR? what a shame.
If you actually sell stuff off of it, I would be interested in the MS as I am about to buy one in a week or two.

he means pulling it apart as in getting the bushings...or so i would imagine?

FYI I measured the front crossmember bushing on my 3rd gen...the crossmember hole/bolt measurements match up with the ES 94101 & 94102 kits perfectly. The height of the front one is obviously much shorter so these would need to be cut down, which should be relatively easy. You would also want to get some 1/2" diameter grade 8 bolts to replace the shanked stock bolts, or just use the stock ones & toss the sleeve from the kit.
I may go ahead & order a set & try it out on either the front or rear...the front ones are in really rough shape, nearly ripped in two. The backs seem better, but are getting smashed by the extra torque being put on them by the ES trans mount inserts for sure.
