Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Watts Link Pivot Bushing fits the 1979-1985 Mazda RX-7 GS, S (SA/FB). Placement: rear. In the box: 2 bushings and 1 tube. Order it as part number W81274.
Links in the rear suspension locate the wheel or axle, and each one pivots on a bushing. When the bushing is worn, the link moves more than it should, and alignment and stability change under load.
Whiteline rates the install as moderate and lists about 2 hours. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. To go with it on the RX-7, see Front Sway Bar Washer Kit, Front Strut Tower Brace Quick Release Kit, and Rear Sway Bar Link Bushing (21mm OD).
Features
- Corrosion protection: Rust protection comes from plating on the metal parts.
- Self-lubricating: Grease reservoirs inside the bushing feed lubrication as it moves.
- Bushing compound: A synthetic elastomer compound resists oil, grease, ozone, and weathering.
