Mazda 2 Control Arm provides the accurate hinged restraint enabling each front wheel to slide over bumps and remain in a perfect position relative to the chassis. Constructed from a strong bridge of frame and knuckle, this Control Arm has springs, shocks, and sway bar connections and is pivoted on robust rubber bushings and a sealed ball joint, so that the vertical wheel action does not cause undesirable forward or backward motion and the steering feel and tire life are maintained. Older versions of the subcompact were based on stamped steel forms which could bend or rust following a severe curb strike, whereas new components are crafted out of cast iron or feather-light cast aluminum, which can shrug off corrosion, cut unsprung mass, and sharpen turn-in response. The geometry of mounting is identical to that of first, second, and current generation, and therefore drivers who upgrade or maintain a loyal 2 are assured of easy compatibility with both hatchback and sedan bodies. Since the arm maintains both the camber and caster constant during hard braking or cornering, it not only increases efficiency due to less scrub on the tires but also increases safety because the contact patch remains flat and predictably grips. This commitment to even-handed dynamics resembles Mazda engineering philosophy, which values agile handling without sacrificing riding comfort. Extra features like solid anti-corrosion finishes, machined ball stud, captive bushings to damp vibration, etc. make the Control Arm noticeable in a crowded parts market. It makes owners happy that when they install a new Mazda Control Arm, they get factory-tight steering response, no clunks, and the car stays straight long after it goes over the common urban potholes. To the daily commuter and enthusiastic weekenders, the element represents Mazda reliability and performance history. No matter what engine it is attached to, either an earlier or a current 2, it retains the light, sprightly character that fans desire.
