Well the info Seth gave you is correct. The hubs ARE NOT redrilled! That is a toyota hub, spindle I can not tell for sure. Only way to know 100% is if they were in front of me........John

My guess would be, Aim Toyota drop spindle. Toyota hubs and brakes. Toyota upper ball joints. The lower ball joint still look like stock Mazda, because of the four bolt mount and Toyota has jut a three bolt mount on lower ball joints. Vise versa on the upper ball joint different on Toyota and Mazda.I didn't think toyota and mazda lower ball joint taper is the same, so I would check that also.

^^ I would say that Von has it nailed right there. Its Deff a factory mazda tie rod end too as the toyota is male and the mazda uses a female on the outer.  The toyota and mazda lower ball joint tapers do not match either so there is a good chance those spindles are ruined as a result of the previous installers "work" Good luck on it whatever you decide to do.

Ya I havn't torn it down yet but I'm fully expecting the spindles to be ovaled out, because as I stated, the lower balljoint is as loose as the tie rod. Thanks for the heads up guys, I'll see what we can come up with.
