Miata Front Suspension Rebuild - Control arms, bushings, ball joints & front hub

Today I am going to rebuild some of the suspension on my Miata. The bushings were cracking, the ball joint boots ripped, and hardware rusty. It was time to replace it all and give this care a fresh start. I replaced the upper control arm, ball joint, lower control arm bushings, extended lower ball joints, and repainted the spindle. The car should handle great once it's running again. Can’t wait to drive the car soon!

It was a pretty straightforward process as long as you keep your parts in order and take each step slowly. It only required basic tools and some time. I hope this video gives you the confidence to do it yourself too!
