Bearing Absorber Front > MAZDA 5 / MAZDA BIANTE > C273 34 38XB > GENUINE PART

This is a Genuine OEM Front Shock Absorber Bearing, identified by the Mazda part number C273 34 38XB. This component is critical for the front MacPherson strut suspension system of Mazda's popular multi-purpose vehicles (MPVs), specifically the Mazda 5 (known as the Premacy in some markets) and the Mazda Biante. These vehicles rely on robust suspension components to maintain stability and comfort under varying loads.

The Absorber Bearing (or strut mount bearing) is a thrust bearing that sits within the front strut mount. Its primary role is to bear the vehicle's weight and allow the entire strut assembly (damper and spring) to pivot effortlessly when the driver steers the wheels. This low-friction rotation is vital for:

Light and predictable steering
Proper self-centering of the steering wheel
Preventing grating or popping noises when turning
Failure of this bearing often results in steering binding or noise, compromising ride quality. Replacing it with the Genuine Part ensures:

✔ Direct Fit & Function: Guarantees correct fitment and optimal load handling for these MPV platforms.

✔ Smooth Operation: Restores the low-friction rotation intended by Mazda, crucial for comfortable and precise steering.

✔ Noise Elimination: Resolves steering-related suspension noise issues.
