My lower control arm bushings looked good too. They weren't. Removal of the old control arm busing wasn't difficult. Installing the new ones was a major PITA. I used a C clamp style puller for removal. For installation I made a custom tool from an old scissor jack. The aftermarket bushing sleeves (Moog, Mevotech, etc) are 1.5-2mm thicker vs the OEM Mazda bushings. Get the Mazda bushings and deep freeze them before installing.

I’ll have to keep an eye on them but they definitely look like it would be a PITA to get out/put in without the right tool. Appreciate the good info on this, I’ll pin this for others to see it if they got to do it! Or for when I need to do it lol

@cybalakay 11 месяцев назад

You could probably use an ATV swingarm bearing tool to remove that bushing. The tool is only about $35

This is solid info right here. Thank you for sharing.

Good info man saved me some time. Hope Mazda still has some lol. Probably do, I suppose it's not commonly replaced. My 91 Mazda B2600i SE Excab has 250k on it, steering feels tighter and better than a lot of newer trucks with 1/4 of the miles. Still I got all Proforge gear to replace everything as I'm restoring/building the truck. Man I love there's trucks. I've had 5 of them, never had to do a clutch or brakes. Never left me stranded. I've put an ign module in on side of road and had sn alternator die that's about it. One new thing I had happened (only on the FI engines) is engine temp sensor went bad and ran super rich, no start/idle fluctuated, and died, low power. If you have FI engine and run rich low power, idle hangs, (cold idle intermittent) check coolant sensor for Coolant/ECU. Walker makes one w/connector. My truck runs like new still. Literally got every option to add to this thing, Factory a/c, center console, tilt, Honda pwr window motors, pwr locks/alarm/rem start. factory pwr steering/tech truck luckily. Have speeduino and a Gt28rs turbo I'm building an engine for. Might keep it static dropped w/sway bars, and coilovers possibly, or bags can't decide yet. Nice clean truck man.

@FlakeGarage Год назад

Nice job bro looks good

@FlakeGarage Год назад

Thanks bro!

The suspension must be compress under pressure for the end links to go in and then tighten. Basically all suspension parts must be tighten under load. You can also jack up the control arm, then tighten it.

@FlakeGarage Год назад

Yeah ended up lowering the truck and putting the end links once the suspension was compressed. They went in without much problem then

Cool video brother. Whats up with the hardbody? I just had my back operation and wont be 100 for a while so my trucks are all in need of work, and updates. Can’t make videos due to my surgery. Hope all is well

@FlakeGarage Год назад

Hey Dina! glad your surgery went well brother. Bryan just been busy with life that his hardbody has been on the backburner bro, one of these days we'll have it back on the channel but idk when

@0BAYAREA0 2 месяца назад

@FlakeGarage Checking in to see how the LCAs have been performing. I’ve been pondering to purchase these but cant get over the $400 tag. Maybe your input can help with my decision.

@FlakeGarage 2 месяца назад

They are definitely pricey but they have been working out fine so far. No issues or anything else since install

@johnsun33 Год назад

What Beltech shocks did you use? Obviously they don't make any for Mazda.

@FlakeGarage Год назад

These shocks have been discontinued, model 10102E and were advertised as Mazda B2200 shocks in some places but again, the middle part needed to be adjusted down as it was too big for the control arm, whether it was grinded or swapped for correct spacer

@Mini_Truckers_Lifestyle Год назад

So I noticed you did the ball joint flip on your stock control arms with that being said with the lowering arms did you leave the ball joints on the top of the arm or back where it was when stock

@FlakeGarage Год назад

I put them back to the stock position under the control arms

@Mini_Truckers_Lifestyle Год назад

@@FlakeGarage I ordered the plates to sit mine on top wif I was to do this new arm and and put the ball joint on top would sit lower or still be the same height

@FlakeGarage Год назад

If you put it on top it should sit lower just watch out for the wheels hitting the control arm potentially depending on their size since you are pushing things up. I’d guesstimate maybe about half inch more low

@mikecas9327 12 дней назад

Did you ever have an issue with the control arm hitting the header?

@FlakeGarage 12 дней назад

I've heard of people with this issue but I haven't had it myself, they do sit close but no contact has been made

@carmellojohnson8306 2 месяца назад

Hey bro, I follow you on RU-vid. I Have a 1990 mazda b2200 and I have a question. I watched your video on how to change out the lower control arm to a 3 inch drop. I did everything correct but I’m having a problem. My tire keeps coming up and hitting the fender as I’m driving, I put bigger bump. Stop in there and raise the torsion bars some But I don’t understand why it’s hitting scraping as I’m hitting any little bump I test drove it myself and it was fine but when I put my wife in the truck it started scraping everywhere like it went down even when i hit the brakes too hard, I do have the DJM recommended shocks any words of knowledge will be greatly appreciated I watched your RU-vid video and it showed me how to change out my lower control arms. Thank you

@FlakeGarage 2 месяца назад

Not sure, could be the torsion bars might need to be reindexed a tooth more or they might be worn out if they aren't holding much. I'd check all bolts again and make sure nothing is loose. Maybe someone else might have more insight

@eliudpena Год назад

How long did it take to receive your parts from djm ive been waiting 3 weeks y nada and also what size tire are you running

@FlakeGarage Год назад

Did you order through their site? I got mine pretty quickly, I think overall it took 5 days to ship after I placed my order and a few more days for me to get it. Maybe 2 weeks total. 205/40/16

What sway bar links you end up using my oem seem too long

@FlakeGarage 8 месяцев назад

Kept the oem but I hooked everything once it was on the ground and just barely raised. It fit fine then and I believe it’s recommended to hook the sway bar on the ground
