This project kinda got back burner'd with the business ramping up a bit faster than expected.

I've been going through some personal things and also taken on a Jeep Cherokee (XJ) project that I'm trying to turn into my beater daily, but I should have a significant more time on my hands now. Once the Jeep project is road worthy again, I'll be able to devote time to the Miata again.

Hopefully I can start getting things updated in the coming weeks/months.

Dumb question.....


Those washers on the rear lower control arm bolt, where those always there or are they from the front? I don't recall installing these, nor did my car have them.

No tellin.. There is a definite possibility that they got swapped front to back on accident.

Those washers come with some (including ES) poly bushing kits. Stock bushings don't have them.

OK. Should I be worried about that if I have the v8 roadster arms. I'm pretty sure I can scrounge up some fat washers somewhere

I have Delrins and I have run with and without them, but I think they are a good idea with poly bushings because they locate the non-press-fit bushings.

This sounds correct. All the baggies were seperated, so it would stand to reason they added these in for the poly bushings.
