Door Bush Set Kenauto Taikan All MX5 Models Reviews

4.7 Rating 3 Reviews
Read MX5parts Reviews

Original door bushing (dove tail/cups) designed by KenAuto in Japan. This is the thickest and most effective door bush on the market used by thousands of Japanese Roadsters on the track. This is a complete replacement for the original part that the door sits on when closed. By replacing the brittle stock unit, you’ll notice more steering response, less suspension wiggle and they do a great job of stiffening up your MX5. Installed in minutes and creates a noticeable difference in drivability. Some of the JDM shops such as Joyfast & TUCKIN99 had very high praise for the part and use them on all their race cars now!Steering response will be much better.The sound quality of the door speakers will improve and you will get much better sound quality.The deflection from the shocks will improve on the road surface and when you drive over the manholes you will not get the vibrating sound. The TAIKAN will improve the overall feeling of the car.Fits all MX5 models, 1989 on including the Mk4 & RF.Please Note: On certain models you may need to shave a small amount off the outer face to ensure the door closes perfectly.

I was sceptical at first. IÆd read various reports on the MX5 Owners Club forum about the benefits of replacing the door bushings but they were true. It took 15 minutes to install the new bushings on my 2009 MX5 NC2 Sport Tech. A lot of the door rattles disappeared, closing the doors was firmer and the car felt tighter to drive, if you know what i mean. A small cost, minimum effort, significant improvement.

These bushings have made a surprising difference in a couple of aspects...Firstly a lot of annoying little rattles have now disappeared.Secondly, and I wasn't really expecting it, the whole car now feels somehow a bit tighter and more solid to drive (I have recently changed to stiffer engine mounts and added poly diff bush void fillers). I'd say these Taikan were the last piece of the puzzle to get everything working together.A word of warning though... Whilst these are obviously not rocket science to fit, be prepared with various grades of sandpaper/files/other abrasives of choice because ,in my case at least, they'll need a lot of fine tuning to get them to fit whilst still allowing you to open the doors! I guess that's kind of the point of them though!Overall 4/5 stars.... I've definitely noticed an improvement in NVH over the stock OEM pieces, and it's only a couple of bolts on either side to fit them. I've taken a star off due to spending literally hours fine tuning them with sandpaper to get a perfect fit.
