Did you get your poly steering bush fitted Ian?
My steering has recently gone from standard FB vague to american muscle car vague! My proper Mazda bush has disintegrated after less than 6 months and 6,000 miles. I'm about to order the poly one.

Re: Steering Idler Arm Bush
it still hasn't arrived yet Steve.... it did say on ebay it would be 11-12 working days delivery which is pretty dire to be honest and I only stood it as I was in no rush for the bush and it was very cheap for a poly.Steve-A wrote:Did you get your poly steering bush fitted Ian?

Its due to land on 13th / 14th .... alledgedly....
Mazda genuine bushes seem to be pretty fragile and don't appear to last very long.... I've been told polys are much more durable....athough I might try a moog arm next year when I fit my power steering...

Re: Steering Idler Arm Bush
hmmm. Thats frustrating. I think Ill order one and just have to deal with sloppy steering for a few more days.
I like the idea of the idler with bearings rather than bushings but haven't really got the cash to splash, need to save for fuel injection.
