Fitment and Application Details

As a direct-fit replacement, GS761216 is built for drivers replacing worn front suspension components that affect alignment, steering response, and ride quality. The stamped steel arm, rubber bushings, and press-in ball joint support factory-style suspension geometry on Mazda 3 and Mazda 3 Sport applications.
Common Problems This Part Can Address
- Clunking or knocking from the front suspension
- Excessive play in the lower control arm or ball joint area
- Uneven tire wear caused by worn suspension joints
- Loose or imprecise steering feel
- Ride quality changes from deteriorated bushings
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the vehicle is a 2014-2018 Mazda 3 or Mazda 3 Sport with the front right lower application before ordering. Because this assembly uses a press-in ball joint, proper suspension service tools and alignment inspection after installation are recommended. Confirm all mounting points and hardware condition during replacement.
