Replacement RIDEX rear anti-roll bar drop link / stabiliser link for Mazda MX-5 Mk3 / Mk3.5 / Mk3.75 NC 1.8 and 2.0 models.

Installation position: Rear axle, left or right. MazSpec confirms the same component is used on both rear sides and that 2 links are required per vehicle.

The drop link connects the anti-roll bar to the rear suspension, transmitting suspension movement into the anti-roll bar to help control body roll. Wear in the joints can cause knocking or rattling from the rear suspension, particularly over uneven surfaces.

What’s in the box: One RIDEX 3229S0362 rear anti-roll bar drop link. Two are required to replace both rear links.

Installation notes: Raise and support the vehicle safely before dismantling suspension components. Remove the original link and inspect the anti-roll bar and mounting points for damage or corrosion. Install the replacement in the correct orientation and tighten all fasteners to the applicable Mazda specifications. Replacing both rear links together is recommended where wear is similar on both sides.
