The Mazda 3 Trailing Arm attaches the rear wheels to the optimum course but still permits them to slide over bumps, providing the driver with sharp handling and a ride experience that is solid yet smooth. It is made of high strength steel and is fixed to the car sideways at the centerline; this is what owners boast about, as it has been able to survive years of potholes without bending, and the press-fit rubber bushings absorb vibration instead of transmitting it to the cabin. It provides a connection between the rear axle and the chassis, which means that when you accelerate hard or when you stand on the brakes it does not allow torsion that may cause loss of position, hence the tires have predictable contact and therefore avoid unequal wear. All subsequent generations of the hatch since the 2004 introduction and the current turbocharged flagship utilize the same fundamentally successful concept, i.e. the arm carries over directly to many Mazda 3 models, regardless of whether the car has the early twist-beam installation or the more modern semi-independent installation. Since the factory geometry is the same, a new Trailing Arm will immediately recreate that on-center feel sought after by engineers, restoring fuel economy by allowing the tires to roll with reduced drag and enhancing active safety because the stability control system can have confidence in the correct wheel angles. The ingenious combination of a stiff metal backbone and compliant bushings is a built-in vibration damper, a minor detail that separates the component among many competing compact car suspension links, and it also helps the legendary Mazda cabin quiet last decades. The modern Skyactiv-X powered sedan continues to rely on the same Trailing Arm design, which indicates the necessity of the design to the DNA of the 3 line and reminds drivers that reliability and sharpness can go hand in hand. To any person who is interested in true Mazda durability, the investment in this OE suspension hero is an intelligent way of ensuring that weekend drives are enjoyable and weekday commuting is safe.
