SuperPro Front Control Arm Lower-Inner Bushing Kit for 1971-1974 Mazda RX-2

This is the SuperPro Front Control Arm Lower-Inner Bushing Kit for the 1971-1974 Mazda RX-2. Control arm bushings are the pivots that hold each arm to the body or subframe, and their condition has a direct effect on alignment, steering response and braking stability. It suits street cars, restorations and lowered cars where a firmer, more precise feel is the goal.

Replacing worn bushings is one of the more cost-effective ways to restore how a car drives, because the parts themselves are inexpensive compared with the arms, links and brackets they support. It also makes sense to inspect neighboring bushings and ball joints while the suspension is apart, since they have usually covered the same miles.

Factory rubber bushings are tuned for comfort, and over time heat, oil and age make them crack, sag and tear. Once that happens the arm or component they hold can move around more than the engineers intended, which shows up as clunks, vague steering, uneven tire wear or a car that feels loose over rough roads.

Install notes

These bushings press into their housings, so you may need a hydraulic press, or a shop with one, to fit them. A wheel alignment afterwards is a good idea when you replace locating bushings.
