Suspension rod replacements

Post by FM Radio » Tue Jul 18, 2023 7:23 pm

I need replacement suspension rods for the nearside and offside of my 1997 Ford Probe 2.5. Anyone know where I can buy originals or used VGC / compatible Mazda / remanufactured?

The suspension rods needed are the rear ones.

Do you know which actual rods you need.
Can you ask the garage to take some pictures?
Thanks

I finally sourced the rear suspension rods for my Probe which were fitted successfully by my local garage. It also had some welding done and has now passed its MOT. It is back on the road after five months. I am taking it to a Christmas classic car meet next week. Hopefully another year of happy motoring ahead. Thanks to everyone on this forum who assisted with information; the diagram of the rear suspension was particularly helpful. A similar diagram of the front suspension would be very useful in case it's needed in the future.

Nice to hear that you have your car back on the road, do you have any pictures of your car that you might share 8-)
