On ageing MX-5 NC models these are a common corrosion and failure point, especially on cars exposed to winter road salt, standing water or poor underside protection.

Genuine Mazda parts help maintain the intended fit and chassis structure without the fitment issues that can come from poorly made pattern parts.
