The #1 and #2 lower transmission mounts for the ZX2 will interchange as the Protege/323/2nd gen Escort&Tracer and MX-3 RS however. The 97+ Escort and ZX2 may use the same mounts, but no one has yet to test this. The engine mounts for the Protege, 323, 1991-1996 Escort & Tracer, and 4 cylinder MX-3 RS are the same. The 97+ Escort and ZX2 use larger in diameter bushings which will not fit. Shift stabilizer bushings are the same between all Protege's, 323's, MX3's and 2nd gen Escorts and Tracers (1991-1996). This is because they utilize horizontally mounted droplinks rather than the vertically mounted endlinks found on BG chassis cars.Ĭontrol arm, Trailing arm, Steering rack and swaybar endlink kits will interchange between the Protege/323/Escort/ZX2, and possibly the MX-3 (no one has tested them). The MX3's bars WILL NOT fit any of these models. I have a MX3 rear tie bar on my car, and it fit great.Īll front swaybars interchange between the Protege/323/Escort/ZX2, as does the rear bars. I don't know of anyone who fitted one to a 3rd gen Escort/ZX2, but it probably fits. Front Tie bars from the Protege, will fit the 2nd gen escort. For rear tie bars, MX3 tie bars are easier to find than escort or protege tie bars. An MX3 rear tie bar will not fit on a 3rd Gen as the mounting points are different. The rear bar does fit, but require trimming of your trunk interior to fit in the 97+ Escort sedan or ZX2 hatchback. The 3rd gens may require some re-location of various brackets as there are more systems (like ABS) and stuff. All MX3 strut tower bars fit the 90-94 Protege, 2nd gen escort, 323, and the 3rd gen Escort and ZX2. It is easiest to find MX3 strut tower bars on ebay or online. The control arms and trailing arms are of a different design and the rear disc brakes on GS models use different style calipers. The main differences between this chassis and the BG chassis is the different swaybar design that uses droplinks instead of endlinks. The MX-3, however uses a different chassis known as the "EC" chassis. The Mazda MX-3 uses the same unibody as the Protege/323/ZX2/Escort/Tracer hence why so many suspension parts interchange. Thus most every suspension part will interchange with a few minor exceptions. The 1991-1996 Escorts and the 1997-present escorts and ZX2's use the SAME chassis as the Protege/323 (known as the BG chassis). This guide ( ) covers the various suspension parts that interchange between the following models:įirst of all.the 1990-1994 Protege and 323 are basically the same car, using the same chassis and unibody.
