About the piece:
The rear subframe bushing in Mazda vehicles is a rubber piece that is placed between the rear subframe and the vehicle's body. Its primary role is to reduce vibrations and shocks transmitted from the road to the vehicle's body, in addition to holding the subframe firmly in place.
Its function:
- Vibration absorption: Reduces vibrations caused by vehicle movement on uneven roads.
- Rear waist fixation: Maintains the stability of the rear waist and prevents its excessive movement.
- Improved stability: It contributes to enhancing the stability of the car while driving, especially when cornering or on rough roads.
- Noise Reduction: Prevents metal-to-metal friction, reducing noise generated by the rear suspension system.
Symptoms of damage:
- Unusual noises: Hearing a clicking or squeaking sound from the rear while driving or going over bumps.
- Vibrations in the car: Feeling a noticeable vibration while driving, especially on uneven roads.
- Vehicle instability: Notice a sway or drift in the vehicle while driving on rough roads.
- Excessive tire wear: Notice uneven or abnormal wear on the rear tires.
