Beck/Arnley Suspension Strut Mount P/N:101-8214
Soak up road shock and keep the front strut properly located with the Beck/Arnley Suspension Strut Mount 101-8270. This front strut mount installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1999-2003 Mazda Protege and 2002-2003 Mazda Protege5 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details. It secures the top of the strut to the body, cushions the connection to isolate vibration and road noise, and on the front axle provides the upper pivot the strut turns on during steering.
Worn strut mounts often show up as clunking or knocking over bumps, creaking or binding when turning, and added vibration through the chassis. If a failed strut mount is the cause of those signs, this replaces it.
