About the piece:
Front Control Arm Bushings in Mazda vehicles are flexible rubber parts placed between the front control arm and the vehicle body. They are an important part of the front suspension system, as they help reduce vibrations and noise resulting from the movement of the vehicle, in addition to improving the stability of the front wheels while driving.
Its function:
- Vibration reduction: Absorbs shocks from the road to provide a comfortable ride.
- Noise reduction: Reduces direct friction between the scissors and the car body, reducing noise.
- Improved stability: Keeps the front wheels stable, especially when cornering or driving on uneven roads.
Symptoms of damage:
- Unusual noises: Hearing a clicking or squeaking sound from the front while driving, especially when going over bumps.
- Steering vibrations: Feeling a vibration in the steering wheel or the car in general while driving.
- Tire Wear: Notice uneven wear on the front tires due to the effect of the wheel angle.
- Difficulty steering: Feeling heavy or difficult to steer the vehicle.
Additional information:
If the vehicle has not been in an accident, there is often no need to replace the entire front strut. In these cases, only the strut skins can be replaced, which is a more economical option than replacing the entire strut.
