There is but like double the price and i can wait for the money savings.

I used tasca parts before for oem parts for my rx8 fan motor upgrade, i think its connected to the getoemparts website .

I have a set of Brand new SP Diff bushes going cheap if interested. I ordered mine recently from Oz and received a duty bill separately. You are lucky if you manage to avoid it.

Fitted the diff mount bushes today, wasnt too bad , hardest part was putting the new bushes into the mount, but i was using a vice todo it, anyway, one job done .

They put on the package the value at $100 , not sure if that will make the fees less or any at all, but il just have to see, i paid fees on my pillow balls of 91 pounds this morning to dhl, which was nice at 7 am

They might well have saved you then from the sounds of it! Yes I got hit for them too

I recently rebuilt my whole rear end and only because I wanted to change my diff bushes initially. It good to see someone manage to do what they targeted for once lol!

 

[Tjp8]

Toe links done and fitted, test drove it and the cars still knocking like crazy and all over the road but should be ok, pillowballs turn up monday and il do the rest next week.

Defo not fun doing it in the rain on the side of the road but its gotta be done

 

[CarbonRX]

Those links are the hardest ones! Knocking will only be coming from the PB's. Most of my other bushes were in good shape when I changed mine as OEM are quite hardy. The PBs are just a weak link in the system but serve an important function.

Pillowballs and covers have come, hopefully il get to fitting them tomorrow

 

[Tjp8]

When fitting the pillowballs, do they need greasing under the dust cover area?

The ball joints look like they already are greased.

Thanks

Yes, you fill to gap between the pillowball and the dust boot with grease as per the FSM.

My bad! Obvs J Auto are different!

Rear end done now, new pillow balls, grease dust covers ect, the pillow balls were so easy to replace ( took the pic before grease and dust covers), the other were alot harder todo .

just waiting on the track control arm bush to come, and il fit that then too as they are really worn.

Ive fitted it all back up to the car, no play in the wheels now which is pretry sweet .

Fitted everything with a vice again, im pretty happy with it all

Was going to attempt to clean the arms ect but tbf i just wanted to get the car back on the ground as it was on the main road on axle stands
