Unusual Rust on Terry’s 1994 Miata
Terry's 1994 Mazda Miata rusted suspension.
Every once in a while you get an unusual repair project
Terry Marino of Sarasota had an unusual rust problem isolated to the front suspension system of his 1994 Mazda Miata. The balance of his Mazda Miata was relatively rust free.
1994 Miata's subframe and lower a-arm.
Terry’s Mazda Miata is not a “northern” car, so the assumption was that the previous owner drove the car through salt water on very regular basis because the areas affected were extensively rusted.
1996 Miata sub-frame installed as on unit.
I determined that easiest and best solution to the heavily rusted lower a-arms and sub-frame was to replace the entire front suspension system minus the shocks, springs and anti-roll bar.
Installed 1996 Miata sub-frame.
Luckily, I happened to have a a 1996 Mazda Miata with good front suspension system. I removed the necessary pieces as one unit and from my 1996 Miata parts car and installed them in Terry’s 1994 Mazda Miata.
If you are going to specialize in one vehicle, it is very wise to have parts cars available. The customer always wins. Terry’s work came out very well and he spent 1/3rd the amount he would have at another shop.
