    Default WTB NA/NB front upper A-arm or front sub frame assembly

    Looking for an upper A-arm. Or if the price is right, a sub-frame with arms and knuckle(s) (only one side need be good/complete, doesn't matter which side).

    I picked one up at Mazda Nissan Heaven a couple of weeks ago when I messed up the upper ball joint bolt trying to remove it for bushings.
    You can check their web-site for parts.

    I "think" that these parts are different NA vs. NB. If you can get the whole front clip, the NB has a geometry advantage (so I'm told).

    Call Hugh at Ace Miatas and More. I know he has several subframes, including at least one that still has the hub and a-arms attached.

    I bent one of my originals while attempting to remove the bushings using all thread and some nuts and washers and picked up a replacement at Ace. I think it was an NB as the ball joint was slightly different (longer threaded section). I'm planning on building a couple of new arms to provide greater shock/spring clearance. I was going to buy another arm to dimension off of, thought about getting the whole setup to build a jig out of to help ensure the new arms are identical to stock or at least as close as is possible.

    I can go back to Ace, just thought I'd check here first.
