Help keep the front suspension located and road shock damped with the Dorman control arm bushing, part number 523-618. It is built for the front lower rearward position on the 2004-2009 Mazda 3 and the 2006-2010 and 2012-2017 Mazda 5.

See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine and trim details.
This Dorman suspension control arm bushing is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. Signs that a worn bushing may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and visible cracks or tears. If a worn bushing is the cause, 523-618 replaces it. Other suspension parts can cause the same symptoms, so inspect the suspension first. Follow the vehicle service information for removal and installation, and have the wheel alignment checked afterward.
