Cusco Bushing Pillowball Rear Leading Link 2016+ Mazda Roadster (NDRC)

This is the Cusco Pillowball Rear Leading Link Bushing, specifically made for the 2016 and newer Mazda MX-5 Miata (NDRC chassis). If you're looking to get a more direct feel from your rear suspension, especially during cornering and braking, this bushing is a solid upgrade over the stock rubber components. It replaces the factory rubber bushing in the leading link arm, which can flex and distort under load, leading to less precise handling.

Cusco is known for making well-built suspension parts, and this pillowball bushing is no exception. It uses a spherical bearing, often called a pillowball, which allows for much smoother articulation without the unwanted deflection you get from rubber. This means when you turn the wheel or apply the brakes, the suspension reacts more immediately and predictably. It's a popular choice for drivers who want to feel more connected to the road and improve the car's responsiveness during spirited driving.

When installing this, you'll want to make sure you have the right tools to remove the old bushing and press in the new one. It's a direct replacement part, meaning it's designed to fit right into the factory leading link arm without needing any modifications.
