Genuine Mazda F151-34-710 Lower Front Suspension Arm Front Bush
Replacement Genuine Mazda lower front suspension-arm front bush for Mazda MX-5 Mk3, Mk3.5 and Mk3.75 / NC models with 1.8L and 2.0L petrol engines from 2005/2006 to 2015 listed in the compatibility table.
The bush is pressed into the front mounting position of the lower front suspension arm or wishbone. It provides a resilient connection between the suspension arm and vehicle structure, allowing controlled movement while helping maintain the intended wheel geometry.
Correct bush condition is important for stable braking, accurate steering response and consistent suspension alignment. The rubber element also isolates a proportion of the vibration and impact transmitted through the suspension arm.
The same bush is used at the front mounting position of the left-hand and right-hand lower wishbones. This listing supplies one Genuine Mazda bush for one side. Two are fitted per vehicle.
Replacement may be required where the original rubber has split, cracked, softened, distorted or separated from its inner or outer sleeve. Common symptoms can include knocking over uneven roads, vague handling, movement under braking, unstable wheel alignment or uneven tyre wear.

Fitment advice: This is the front-position bush in the lower front suspension arm, not the larger rear-position wishbone bush. Compare the bush dimensions, sleeve arrangement and mounting position with the removed component before installation.
Other items to consider: When changing this part, you may also want to consider purchasing the lower wishbone rear bush, lower ball-joint rubber boot, suspension-arm mounting bolts, alignment hardware and any associated fasteners showing corrosion, stretching or damaged threads.
Useful tools / consumables: Hydraulic press or suitable bush-removal and installation tools, support sleeves, socket set, breaker bar, penetrating fluid, rubber-safe assembly lubricant, calibrated torque wrench and wheel-alignment equipment.
Difficulty guide: DIY Difficulty: Advanced. The lower suspension arm normally requires removal from the vehicle, and the old bush must be pressed out without distorting the arm. The replacement must be installed in the correct orientation and to the correct depth.
Why Genuine Mazda? Genuine Mazda suspension bushes are manufactured to the intended dimensions, rubber stiffness, sleeve specification and mounting geometry. Using the correct OE bush helps restore the original suspension-arm location, compliance and handling characteristics.
What’s in the box: One Genuine Mazda lower front suspension-arm front bush, part number F151-34-710. The suspension arm, rear bush, ball joint, mounting bolts and alignment hardware are not included unless specifically shown or stated separately.
Installation notes: Record the existing alignment settings before dismantling. Note the orientation and installed depth of the original bush before pressing it out. Support the suspension arm correctly during removal and installation to prevent distortion. Tighten rubber-bushed suspension pivots with the suspension at its normal operating height unless the Mazda procedure states otherwise. A professional four-wheel alignment should be completed after installation.
