Product Details
This Dorman suspension ball joint, part number 533-400, is designed for the front lower position on 1992-1993 Mazda MX-3 models. It uses a threaded, bolt-in mounting style and a pinch-type stud with a 12 mm wrench size. The steel body, polychloroprene dust boot, and greaseable construction support routine suspension service where a worn lower ball joint can affect steering feel and front-end stability. This part cross-references Mevotech Supreme MK9967 for the same application.
Common Problems It Can Address
- Front suspension looseness or play at the lower ball joint
- Clunking or knocking noises from the front end over bumps
- Uneven tire wear related to worn suspension joints
- Steering wander or reduced directional control
- Inspection failure caused by excessive ball joint wear
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the vehicle is a 1992-1993 Mazda MX-3 with front lower ball joint application before installation. Confirm the threaded mounting style, stud type, and dimensions match the original part. Inspect the surrounding control arm and mounting points for wear or damage before assembly. Because this part is greaseable, service the joint according to the vehicle maintenance schedule after installation.
