The Mazda CX-5 Control Arm is the solid yet flexible hinge that allows each front wheel to slide over obstacles while steering remains razor sharp. It is bolted between the subframe and the knuckle and swivels on hard rubber bushings and a sealed ball joint, so the suspension moves up and down without the tire being pushed forward, which makes the driver feel confident when handling the car over potholes or even winding highways. The KE 2012-2017 and KF 2017-present SUVs both use the same lower Control Arm, which ensures fast installation regardless of the type of motor installed in the vehicle, 2.0 litre early or turbo later. The original stamped steel was replaced with cast iron and currently light aluminum parts to reduce the weight of the unsprung components and resist rust, improving ride compliance and ensuring low fuel consumption since the wheels have less mass to push about. The Control Arm also sets the correct camber and toe, which enables the electronic stability program and five star crash structure to perform optimally, reduces braking distances, and keeps the cabin calm. After curb contact or even decades of winters bend it, replacing the Mazda Control Arm will help recover the factory ride rather than disguise damage such as clunks, uneven tire treads, or steering misalignment. It is a blessing to drivers that they can cover thousands of miles with the component without giving it a second thought thanks to strong materials and intelligent geometry that meet the Mazda promise of reliability. The small size of the suspension package fits within the CX-5 chassis, saving engine bay space and enabling the Skyactiv efficiency goals to be achieved without additional bulk, a characteristic that allows the SUV to conserve fuel during daily driving. Because Mazda routes the spring and sway bars through this arm, noise and vibration remain low even over broken pavement, and steering wheels remain relaxed in drivers' hands. All these benefits mean that the CX-5 rides like a heavier machine but with the nimble character that fans desire.
