Mazda CX-9 front scissors

About the piece:

The front lower control arm (FLCA) in the Mazda CX-9 is an essential part of the suspension system , connecting the vehicle body to the front wheel. It contains bushings and a ball joint that absorb shock and provide smooth wheel movement. The FLA is considered a long-term part, with a lifespan of 100,000 to 150,000 kilometers depending on usage and maintenance conditions.

Its function:

• Install the front wheel , allowing it enough movement to absorb shock.
• Suspension support to improve driving stability.
• Maintains proper tire alignment , ensuring stable driving and reducing tire wear.

Symptoms of damage:

• Hearing clicking or squeaking sounds when going over bumps or while turning.
• Noticeable vibration in the steering wheel while driving.
• The vehicle deviates from the straight path , requiring constant steering correction.
• Uneven tire wear , indicating an alignment problem.

Saving solution:

If the vehicle has not been in a major accident, there is usually no need to replace the entire strut . Only the bushings or ball joint can be replaced, which is an economical solution without compromising the performance of the part. It is recommended to use original or high-quality spare parts to ensure performance and safety.
