About the piece:
The Rear Flange Base Bushing on Mazda vehicles is a rubber piece used to secure the flange base to the rear suspension system. Its primary function is to reduce vibration and noise from the vehicle's movement on the road, as well as to support the flange and improve vehicle stability.
Its function:
- Flange Base Mount: Keeps the rear flange base securely mounted within the suspension system.
- Vibration Absorption: Reduces vibrations caused by flange movement during driving.
- Noise reduction: Prevents friction between metal parts, reducing noise during vehicle movement.
- Enhance vehicle stability: Helps keep the rear wheels balanced while driving on uneven roads.
Symptoms of damage:
- Unusual noises: Hearing a clicking or squeaking sound from the rear while driving, especially when going over bumps.
- Vibrations in the car: Feeling a noticeable vibration while driving, especially on rough roads or at high speeds.
- Stability Deficit: Notice poor vehicle stability when cornering or driving on curves.
- Excessive wear of connecting parts: Notice wear or damage to the parts connected to the flange due to a damaged bushing.
