Miata Door Bushing Installation and Noise Test [3D Audio]

Today we install door bushings in my Mazda MX-5 Miata and test them to see if they really make a difference! We test sound and chassis stiffness before and after installing delrin door bushings. This video contains 3D audio to help give you the best sense of what these bushings do, so use headphones or a good audio system to get the most of it!

These little plastic pieces were one of the biggest improvements on my MX-5, literally stopped all door related rattling. Now if only it would start reliably (sometimes it does not inject fuel at start).

[@CashedOutCars]

They are quite impressive! Hopefully you can get the other issue sorted out!

[@travdripdrip382]

First thing i noticed in the video was that u lock your doors!!! I'm always to worried a jerk theif will cut the top to get in car to steal my 95 cents in the cup holder and cost me a thousand bucks to replace. Love your videos keep em coming

[@mysterytour5983]

I dont lock mines even my doors at home are not! If someone wants to get in they will either for this car break the top and in the house the windows! I been at the same place for years unlock and nothing gone!

[@H4rshi3]

Parked in a public car park in London, they smashed the windows rather than slash the top! D'oh

[@mauriciaannproper1201]

Sounded much better in sound!

[@cstrx11]

On my ND2 they made a huge difference! I always had to slam the doors to close them! So input back the original ones, set their positions properly and i 3d printed solid TPU insters for the holes on it. Now the holes for the scres are covered. The door closing sound improved a bit. I think these insters are better dor the ND than the aftermarket solid bushings.

[@ronruelle7520]

I made the same change on my NA Miata and the difference is amazing. On another note... who locks the doors on a convertible? They're going to slash your $1500 top to steal your $300 stereo.

[@farmerbobbygrows3338]

This gave me a chuckle people are idiots. Wanna know what you could do wrap copper wire around the metal bars on the top and connect it to a 24v battery personal electric fence lmao I'm kidding it's rediculose that we have to worry about shit like that

[@Shiznit304]

more like worthless BOSE stereo found in those miatas. I literally got a bose sound setup out of a miata for free, the guy was gonna toss it in the bin.

[@CashedOutCars]

I quite like mine!

[@CashedOutCars]

Almost all the break ins in my area are door checks, luckily people don’t go through the effort around here and actual break in attempts are extremely rare

[@Jake-im2lv]

Where I live in Australia it's against the law to leave your car unlocked and insurance will probably try to get out of a claim too. It's bullshit

[@fboness368]

They made a huge difference in my 2004 MSM.

[@howell_124spider]

Getting some on order. Great review and I think sounded like it made a big difference to your car. I was like , " that's not the same road"😂

[@CashedOutCars]

Sweet! Yeah they do make quite a difference for the price

[@wtfisakilometer6999]

Hell yeah ab to buy some

[@MrClassicT]

Exactly what I needed, thanks a lot! :)

[@CashedOutCars]

Glad this helped you out!!

[@nolahahnshouse3389]

I got some put in my 97..I wish I could tell you what I thought but I my engine is screwed so I won't know until that is fixed.

[@CashedOutCars]

They do a good job! What happened to your engine?

[@nolahahnshouse3389]

Notice any fitment issues on the driver side? For my nb1, the driver side door needs quite a lot of force to close as opposed to the passenger. I am only running the passenger delrin, The driver side is stock. Forums have said similar things. Thanks for the vid!

[@CashedOutCars]

I didn't have fitment issues, that's interesting! I just put them in this NB1 and my NA6. You can try to sand a bit off to make it fit slightly less tight

[@MartindeWitte]

I had the same on my NA from 96. I just sandpapered the back of the bushing 1 mm off and it fitted perfectly. For me it looked the doorgap was a little smaller at this side.

[@travdripdrip382]

Weird my nb 2 had the exact same problem. I thought it was just a problem specific to my car. Guess I'm not the only one. My passenger side door works fine abd sounds amazing when i shut it abd driver side sticks and takes more force to closethan it should

[@joelamador1784]

@@travdripdrip382 check your door alignment, it might be off.

[@user-ip8fu1xz4x]

My door is hard to close. You think is Bushings or actual metal clasp thingy

[@abb7juk]

Just order one cuz of u

[@CashedOutCars]

Awesome! Enjoy them!

[@fcjwmusician]

Does this help with road noise in the cabin?

[@CashedOutCars]

A bit, it reduces door rattles

[@gayden4669]

why is the door bushing link sending me to a wart remover????????

[@CashedOutCars]

That’s a great question, sometimes Amazon changes what products are at a destination. Just updated it, thanks for letting me know!
