I think that Mazda never should have started using the plastic end links in 89 in the RX-7 and still has not learned their lesson of cheaper is cheaper and that Mazda released that TSB a couple of months ago.

that tsb came out couple months ago. mine has been having the same exact noise as the tsb for months. meh, no biggie, my autoexe links are in my garage waiting for me anyway.
probably due to cost. they want to squeeze every single penny outa the production. Maximize profit (or lower the production cost, cuz I dont really think they're making money off from Rx-8)

But you would think that the cost between a cast plastic and stamped steel end link would be pretty minor... maybe $10 right???

What did those endlinks run you and where did you purchase them from?

I had mine replaced under this TSB. Clunk went away for a couple of weeks, then it's back again.
Front bar is set at full hard, so apparently the new endlinks still can't handle the stress. Aftermarket links to the rescue...probably Agency Power.
