  • full boogie Nothalane suspension

    here are some poly bushings from down under. these are from Nothalane which seems popular in austalia. nice chunky bracket bushing fits tight on this 26mm GT-X bar but unfortunately is only available in 24 and 26mm but not for the stock 22mm Festy bar.
    the lower control arm to swaybar bushings are a little meatier than the blue Moog ones and fit the stock arms/bar.
    the control arm to body bushing would be a nice upgrade over stock rubber but there is too much lateral play in my opinion and would need side shims to tighten it up in the mounting pocket. strange because Nothalane claims this to be an exact replacement for the mazda 121 DA.

                anyone thought about putting these in hot water before installing? just saying as it might allow a bit of "flex to fit"?

                    online performance is the only place i found that sold to me. they're in AUSTRALIA so the prices are steep. so is shipping but maybe in quantity they'd go lower. here's the mazda 121 page from their store. only parts for the 121 DA will work. also check out their festiva WA listings. note: the smallest swaybar bracket bushing is 24mm so there's no replacement that fits the stock 22mm festiva bar.
