Mazda bongo suspension arms - where to buy new ones??

[Sankovich17]

Hi there,

Wondering if you anyone can help, i am looking for the following:

Mazda bongo suspension arm (arm with bushes and ball joint included)

It's for a Mazda bongo 2.5 diesel 1995.

I am looking for both front (drivers side and passengers side)

I have been looking all over with no joy

It's MOT is due in October so i have time but any suggestions would be great!

Kind regards

Chris

Hey Brian,

Cheers for the reply, i had a look in there last week and there are there but they are £225 plus VAT (each)

Was hoping for a little cheaper as i also have all the brake pipes to do this MOT as well

What is the discount for members?

[Bob]

12.5% - Or half a crown in the £1.

Cheers.

I found one of the suspension arms for £100 so happy days.

I'll order the other one from here as they only had one side.

Cheers for the helps guys

if you want really cheap. and it says they are not handed in this link

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MAZDA-BONGO-1 ... 2060065483.

ive cut most of them up for ian to test the quality of the internals of the ball joints etc and found the cheaper ones are certainly not going to last long as the internals are just nylon cups, the best ones are the gen mazda ones or the blueprint ones, these 2 are of equal quality and really well made.

at least this link says they are handed,

The first link says it is a bush kit only, hence cheap price and the fact that it isn't handed.

The second one looks good. I'll need another soon!

It states 2.0ltr on that last ad.
When put through their compatibility checker it says not 2.5D
Is there a difference?

The wishbones are common to all types of Bongo.

The right hand side one is aftermarket part but hoping it's ok

I'll need to just hit the pot holes with the drivers side
