About the piece
The front control arm bushings on the Mazda3 are small but essential rubber parts that are located at the points where the control arm connects to the body of the car. Think of them like cushions or insulators that hold the control arm in place but give it a little flexibility to move with the shocks and vibrations that occur during driving. Without them, every vibration from the road would be transmitted directly to the front body of the car and affect your driving comfort.
