Mazda CX-5 front scissors

About the piece:

The Front Lower Control Arm (FLCA) is an essential part of Mazda's suspension system . It connects the body to the front wheel, allowing for smooth wheel movement and shock absorption. It contains bushings and a ball joint to provide additional stability and support.

His job:

• Fix the front wheel while allowing it the necessary movement to absorb shock.
• Suspension support to improve driving stability.
• Maintain proper tire alignment to ensure stable driving and reduce uneven wear.

Symptoms of its damage:

• Crackling or squeaking noises when going over bumps or while turning.
• Steering wheel vibration while driving.
• The vehicle deviates from a straight path , requiring constant steering adjustment.
• Uneven tire wear due to misalignment.

Saving solution:

If the vehicle has not been in an accident, it is often possible to replace only the bushings or ball joint instead of replacing the entire strut . This is an economical solution and maintains the quality and performance of the suspension system.

Note: If any of these symptoms are observed, it is recommended to have the front strut inspected at a specialized maintenance center and take the necessary measures to ensure the safety and performance of the vehicle.
