Subject: What is a Bushing?
   Date: Tue, 2 Apr 1996 19:58:58 -0500

Is it some sort of automotive shrubbery? (Hopefully NOT from the Knights who
say Nee! (Or, even worse, the Knights who say Capri!))

Seriously, I was getting my car a 4-wheel alignment (when I was told I needed
tires), and in talking about shocks and suspensions with the guy doing the
work, he mentioned switching the bushings to urethane.

So, now I want to know (more for curiosity sake than anything else): what is
a bushing? Do different Miatas have different bushings (such as the "M" or
"R")?

Enlighten me, please! :-) Thanks!

Happy Motoring!                             -Zack
