Product Details

It is listed for the BK chassis. The listing names the SP23 trim. Included: 2 housings and 4 bolts. This part is for the front of the vehicle.
Bushings work out of sight, but they decide how well a suspension holds its geometry. A soft or tired control arm bushing allows play that shows up as vague steering, a wandering feel under braking, or a clunk over bumps. Fitting a firmer one takes that slack out. Polyurethane resists deflection far better than the soft rubber it replaces.
Expect an easy job of about 2 hours. An alignment is required after installation. To go with it on the Mazda 3, see Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Adjustable Rear Upper Control Arm Set, and Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link.
Features
- Bushing compound: Oil, grease, ozone, and weather do not break down the synthetic elastomer used in the bushings.
- Finish: An E-coat finish protects the metal from corrosion.
- Grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease comes with it for a longer service life.
- Compliance voids: Voids molded into the bushing allow suspension articulation and soften sharp road inputs.
- Self-lubricating: Grease reservoirs inside the bushing feed lubrication as it moves.
- Material: The part is made of polyurethane.
