About the piece:
The stabilizer bar bushing in Mazda vehicles is a small but important rubber component in the front suspension system. It holds the stabilizer bar in place while allowing it to move flexibly. This bushing prevents direct contact between the stabilizer bar and the metal frame of the vehicle, improving the performance of the suspension system.
Its function:
- Noise reduction: Prevents direct friction between the balance shaft and the metal frame, reducing the sounds generated by movement.
- Improve stability: It helps stabilize the balance shaft, which enhances the stability of the car while driving, especially when cornering.
- Vibration Absorption: Reduces vibrations caused by balance shaft movement while driving.
Symptoms of damage:
- Abnormal noises: Hearing a clicking or squeaking sound from the suspension when going over bumps or turning.
- Noticeable vibrations: Feeling a slight vibration in the car while driving on uneven roads.
- Stability malfunction: Excessive lean of the vehicle when cornering is observed, indicating poor performance of the stabilizer bar.
- Skin erosion: The appearance of cracks or visible tears in the rubber skin.
