Detailed Description

This Dorman suspension control arm bushing kit, part number 534-242, is built for the front lower suspension on the 1987-1993 Mazda B2600. The kit uses rubber and steel materials to replace worn control arm bushings and restore the original suspension interface at the control arm mounting point. With confirmed fitment for the Mazda B2600 front lower position, 534-242 is a practical OE replacement choice for suspension maintenance and repair.

The bushing dimensions listed for this application include 18.2 mm and 16.2 mm inside diameters, with 40.3 mm and 34 mm outside diameters. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Front suspension looseness on a Mazda B2600
• Clunking or knocking from worn control arm bushings
• Excessive play at the lower control arm mounting point
• Uneven tire wear related to suspension bushing wear
• Steering feel changes caused by deteriorated rubber bushings

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle is a 1987-1993 Mazda B2600 with front lower application before ordering. Compare the existing bushing dimensions and control arm design to the listed measurements for 534-242. Mounting hardware is not included, so reuse or source the required hardware separately if needed. Professional suspension service is recommended because control arm bushing replacement typically requires removal and pressing operations.

Quality Assurance

Dorman engineers and tests this suspension control arm bushing kit as a standard replacement part for the original equipment on the specified vehicle application. Part number 534-242 is built to match the intended front lower suspension service on the Mazda B2600.
