It supports chassis rigidity around the rear suspension\/subframe mounting area and helps maintain the factory structure that Mazda designed into the NC platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 8px;\"\u003eThere are typically \u003cstrong\u003etwo rear subframe brace bars fitted per vehicle\u003c\/strong\u003e. They sit diagonally between the rear subframe area and the underside of the body\/sill structure, one on each side of the car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 8px;\"\u003eThis part is commonly replaced when the original brace bar is heavily corroded, weakened, bent, damaged during underbody work, or no longer suitable for MOT\/roadworthiness due to rust. On ageing MX-5 NC models these rear brace bars are a common corrosion point, especially on cars exposed to winter road salt, standing water or poor underside protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin: 0 0 8px; padding-left: 18px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart type: Rear subframe brace bar \/ rear cross bar \/ underbody brace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrimary use: Rear subframe-to-body bracing and chassis reinforcement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocation: Rear underside of vehicle, between rear subframe and body\/sill area\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuantity per vehicle: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: MazSpec\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart No.: MCS0002\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso referenced as: NE5128E90\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for Mazda MX-5 Mk3 \/ Mk3.5 \/ Mk3.75 (NC) applications listed in the compatibility table\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment advice:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed for the Mazda MX-5 NC variants listed in the compatibility table, covering Mk3, Mk3.5 and Mk3.75 soft-top and Roadster Coupe \/ PRHT models with 1.8L L8-DE and 2.0L LF-VE petrol engines.

If both brace bars show corrosion, replacing them as a pair is usually the most sensible approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUseful tools \/ consumables:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vehicle lift or axle stands, socket set, breaker bar, torque wrench, penetrating fluid, wire brush, impact tools where suitable, rust treatment, underbody protection, safety glasses, gloves and workshop towels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty guide:\u003c\/strong\u003e DIY Difficulty: Moderate. The brace bars are external underbody components and are generally accessible with the car safely raised, but corrosion and seized fixings can make removal more difficult. Correct support of the vehicle and careful handling of rusted fasteners is important.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhy MazSpec Aftermarket? \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe customer is at the centre of everything we do.
