I'm getting new bushings soon, and my 93 has needed new bushings for a while. How long can I go until I really need to change them, before something happens or is it even serious? Thanks.

Mine could stand to be replaced as well.

I dont think you would have any serious problems if you never replaced them.

Mazda should of covered that base.

Thats not saying that nice new ones wouldnt perform better though.

If I get coilovers, will I still need the other bushings? I dunno, I'm confused on the bushings subject.

I just replaced mine 15k ago and I already need new ones. Just buy toe links and trailing arms if you are gonna replace them. I wish I had.
