Genuine Mazda Front Upper Suspension Arm / Wishbone – RH • N243-34-200

Genuine Mazda N243-34-200 Front Upper Suspension Arm / Wishbone – RH

Replacement Genuine Mazda right-hand front upper suspension arm for Mazda MX-5 Mk4 / ND and RF models from 2015 to 2025 listed in the compatibility table.

The front upper suspension arm, also known as the upper control arm or upper wishbone, connects the upper section of the right-hand front hub carrier to the vehicle structure. Its bushes and upper ball joint allow controlled suspension movement while maintaining the intended wheel position, camber geometry and steering response.

This arm plays an important role in controlling front-wheel movement under braking, acceleration and cornering loads. Correct suspension-arm geometry is also essential for stable handling, predictable steering and accurate wheel alignment.

This listing is for one complete Genuine Mazda right-hand front upper suspension arm assembly with its factory-installed bushes and upper ball joint. One N243-34-200 arm is fitted per vehicle on the front-right side.

Replacement may be required where the original arm has become bent following kerb or impact damage, heavily corroded, or has developed excessive movement in its bushes or ball joint. Possible symptoms include suspension knocking, vague steering, unwanted front-wheel movement, uneven tyre wear or difficulty achieving and retaining the correct wheel alignment.

Fitment advice: Confirm that the arm being replaced is in the right-hand front upper position and compare the original mounting arrangement before installation. Inspect the steering knuckle, arm mounting points, ball-joint connection and adjoining suspension hardware while the assembly is dismantled.

Other items to consider: When changing this part, you may also want to consider purchasing new upper-arm mounting bolts and nuts, the corresponding left-hand arm where both sides are worn, front lower suspension-arm components, anti-roll-bar links and any other corroded or worn suspension hardware identified during inspection.

Useful tools / consumables: Vehicle lift or suitable jack and axle stands, suspension support equipment, ball-joint separator, socket and spanner set, breaker bar, calibrated torque wrench, penetrating fluid and alignment markers.

Difficulty guide: DIY Difficulty: Moderate to Advanced. The suspension and hub carrier must be supported correctly, the upper ball joint separated carefully and potentially corroded mounting bolts removed. A complete wheel alignment should be carried out after installation.

Installation notes: Support the hub carrier and suspension before removing the original arm. Note the location and orientation of all mounting hardware.

Tighten all fasteners to the applicable Mazda specification and complete a full four-wheel alignment after installation.
