SkidNation MX-5 NC Front End Precision Kit

While the NC chassis represented a massive leap forward in torsional rigidity over the previous generations, it introduced a more complex multi-link front suspension that is highly sensitive to alignment settings. Over time, the factory rubber bushings undergo “softening,” leading to dynamic toe and camber changes when you load the car into a corner.

If your NC feels “darty” under heavy braking or seems to lack a definitive “set” once you’ve turned into a bend, it is usually because the original rubber is allowing the control arms to move independently of your steering input. We’ve paired our Polyurethane Bush Kit with a full set of high-strength alignment bolts to solve two problems at once: restoring the surgical precision of the front end and ensuring you can actually adjust the car without fighting seized factory hardware.

SkidNation NC MX-5 Front End Alignment & Geometry Kit

What’s inside the kit:

• Front Axle Polyurethane Bush Kit – Replaces the high-compliance factory rubber in the front upper and lower control arms.
  • Precision Geometry: Unlike rubber, which stretches and compresses, these PU bushings keep your suspension arms exactly where they should be under high lateral G-loads.
  • Two Stiffness Options: Choose 80 ShA for a spirited daily or “fast road” setup that retains comfort, or 90 ShA for dedicated track use where mid-corner stability is the only priority.
  • Pro Tip: This is the single best way to “wake up” the NC’s steering rack. By removing the slop in the arms, the steering feedback becomes much more linear and communicative.

• High-Strength Alignment Bolt Set – A complete set of replacement eccentric bolts, washers, and nuts for the front suspension.
  • Top-Grade Hardware: These are high-tensile steel components designed to handle the high torque loads required to keep your alignment “locked in” during track sessions.
  • Anti-Seize Reliability: The NC is notorious for “frozen” adjustment bolts. These replacements ensure that your alignment technician can actually dial in your preferred caster and camber settings without reaching for a torch or a saw.
  • Why it’s here: There is no point in having precision bushings if you can’t adjust the arms to the correct specifications.

Key benefits

• Eliminated “Darts” and Squirm: The car tracks straighter under heavy braking and feels more planted during high-speed transitions.
• Sharper Turn-in: Reduced deflection means the tires reach their optimal slip angle faster when you move the steering wheel.
• Predictable Grip: Because your camber remains consistent throughout the cornering arc, the contact patch stays flat on the tarmac.
• Stress-Free Servicing: Fresh hardware means future alignment tweaks (for different tracks or tire setups) are quick and easy.
• Long-Term Durability: Our PU compound is resistant to oils and road salt, outlasting factory rubber by a significant margin.

This kit is for you if:

• Your NC feels vague or “woolly” at the limit of grip.
• You are planning a professional alignment and suspect your factory bolts are seized or rounded.
• You’ve upgraded to stickier tires and need the suspension to handle the increased cornering forces without flexing.
• You want a more “mechanical” connection to the front tires.

This kit is NOT for you if:

• You prioritize maximum vibration damping: While 80 ShA is street-friendly, any PU bushing will transmit slightly more road texture than the soft factory rubber.
• You have already installed spherical bearings: If you’ve gone to full race-spec rose joints, these bushings would be a step back in terms of rigidity.

Fits all 2005–2015 models – NC (Mk3).
