About the piece:
The Front Lower Control Arm (FLCA) is an essential part of Mazda's suspension system . It connects the body to the front wheel, allowing for smooth wheel movement and shock absorption. It contains bushings and a ball joint to provide additional stability and support.
His job:
- Fix the front wheel while allowing it the necessary movement to absorb shock.
- Suspension support to improve driving stability.
- Maintain proper tire alignment to ensure stable driving and reduce uneven wear.
Symptoms of its damage:
- Crackling or squeaking noises when going over bumps or while turning.
- Steering wheel vibration while driving.
- The vehicle deviates from the straight path, requiring constant steering adjustment.
- Uneven tire wear due to misalignment.
If the vehicle has not been in an accident, it is often possible to replace only the bushings or ball joint instead of replacing the entire strut. This is an economical solution and maintains the quality and performance of the suspension system.
