Identification is easy... everyone knows Paris Hilton, and I know I wish I could bone her.....

OK so it wasn't that funny...

I think it's a case of "pick a number". Everyone else has been there...

From what I've read at Miata.net forums.... the wishbones from all years are interchangeable.... so it doesnt matter what year they come from.

One minor difference... the bracket-mount on the wishbone that bolts to the link to the sway-bar.....

On NA (ie 90-97) models, its a U shape, and the bolt passes through it twice (with the link bushing inbetween).

On NB (ie 98-05) models, its single sided.... the bolt only passes through it once...
