    I need help before ordering bushings

    I drive a 1993 miata. This is not a track toy . Its my Daily driver so not looking for race car mounts. I just picked up a differential axles and drive shaft out of a 2000 NB. I have been reading on bushings . I have seen people giving good reviews on energy suspension bushings and now from what I can tell the part number is 11.4101g but it says it is for 1990 to 1997 dif . So anyone know what part number I should be looking fo . Or will these for right into what I have. I was under the impression they were all the same but now I have no clue Any help would be appreciated.

    If you aren't looking for race car mounts, you should get rubber replacements, not urethane.

    IF you do urethane at points that pivot(control arms, etc) make sure you install zerk fittings so you can grease at least once a year, if not more often. Other wise it seems rubber is best for street use, like the I.L. Motorsports.

    I have urethane bushings on the front sway bar that needs to be greased and they are noisey any time the sway bar is working but was quiet for over a year after installation. Urethane motor mounts and diff mounts obviously aren't really as much of an issue.
