Mazda MX-5 Miata (2016+): How to Install Aftermarket Door Bushings Kit - ND ND1 ND2 ND3 RF ST

[@jssw3618]

Using tape is what I did for centering. Also the screws holding the pocket that the bushing goes into MUST BE FLUSH otherwise you go crazy trying to get the adjustment right.

Great point - thank you for commenting!

@@SeanStettnichs I put baby powder all over bushing. slammed door several times.

[@jssw3618]

where powder dissappeared is where screw was hitting it. little careful sanding on bushing and vola..door closed great. I could not drive

[@jssw3618]

pocket screw totally flush.

@@jssw3618 awesome idea with the baby powder as well to help troubleshoot where the rubbing/binding was happening. I may try the same with mine if I ever experience issues. Thanks again!

Did you notice any difference once installed?

@@kavalere I have not pushed the car hard enough prior to installing these bushings to observe a difference in rigidity or handling. I have noticed a more solid "thud" in closing the doors. I also feel the doors require slightly more force to close all the way - not much, just a little bit.
