lol actually it's not that hard, you can replace joint and bushings on both arms in less then half an hour with proper tool, but the factor of surprise is present, will it fit or not.. so it's a lot easier and not much more expensive to replace the whole arm.. I've tried yamato, moog, sidem so...

you can press them out, but it can be a hassle to find an appropriate ball joint because there's at least three different diameters.. there's no oem replaceable part, but I know that the oem ball joint is NOK, at least mine was.. last time I had to weld the ball joint to the arm because it was...

yes, I already installed them, all good, just replaced two of three studs as I mentioned above.. :)

LOL nobody? it fits, you have to replace two of three studs, as they are a bit longer on hatch than on sedan.. you can use studs from old strut mount..

you need shorter rear end links.. stock is 190mm, for example, premacy has 160mm.. I believe that you don't have premacy in the states, but this is part no. for premacy's end links - B30H-28-170B maybe you can find this or sth similar.. my mazda dropped about 40mm and I replaced stock end...

as far as I know, eibach doesn't make springs for BJ any more.. you can find some only if somebody has it in stock.. I installed H&R springs, which are also progressive springs as eibachs, but in my opinion, H&R's are stiffer than eibachs, as my friend had eibachs on his BJ.. also, my BJ was...

hello y'all.. :) I've been searching forums, but nothing helped me yet/didn't found what I was looking for, so my apologies if there's similar thread.. so, does anybody know does rear strut mounts for Protege fits Protege5? in my country they are called 323/323F.. Mazda EPC differences...

I heard similar but I'm not interested in buying new ones, I'll make some.. that's the reason why I need hi-res pics.. ;) where can I check for raceline online?

if you can't release them you might have to cut them with the saw or grinder, and be prepared to buy new ones.. ;)

I searched for hi-res pics of adjustable front and rear sway bar links pics, but can't find any.. so if anybody have some hi-res pics of these links, please post them here.. they can even be installed on the car.. something like this but in better quality.. thanks.. (drinks)

can you please tell me where to look for them?

thanks man, "she" is like wine.. the older, the better.. :)

thanks! :)

thanks guys! this is a turbo diesel engine, aka DITD.. to be more precise 2.0 TD (RF engine code).. it was very popular in EU and in some far east countries, because it runs w/o problems on low quality fuel.. it runs on almost everything lol.. the intake is in such a "bad condition" because...

some updates! here is how it looks with OEM Enkei alloys.. mounted M6 wagon rear wiper.. don't have my own pic, but the forum is full of it.. :D cleaned IC, all hoses, and the enter hole of the intake manifold.. could be bigger goddamn! intake manifold before some dirt pulled...

Hello, about six months ago I bought SIDEM lower arms, and they are already dead! my 323F/Protege5 is lowered with H&R springs -30mm (1,2 inch) but it shouldn't affect on durability of the lower arms in such a short period.. here in Croatia, most of the roads are in pretty bad condition, but...

thanks.. (drinks) lol, I know, I know, but this forum is a great source of information for us in Europe as well, because the scene is not so big as your is.. I'll post much more in the future.. (rockon) actually it's MY1998, prefacelift, MY2000 is the facelifted one.. afaik, this model doesn't...

hello y'all.. after several years registered to this forum I want to introduce you my first Mazda.. Made in Japan, Hofu, 24.12.1999. 日本ターボ Engine code - RF (RF2A) Engine type - diesel, front mounted, transversal Number of cylinders - 4, in-line Engine capacity - 1998 cm3 Number of valves...

you're not correct.. :) it was made out of atmospheric 2.0 diesel (RF), converted into turbo + ic, and was sold in Japan and Europe.. it was available with 90, 101 and 110 HP, but the most powerful (RFT, Hi-Power lol) was available only in 626 model.. it's a 2.0 liter engine, aka DITD in...
