Bearing Absorber Front > MAZDA 6 GJ / CX5 KE-KF / MAZDA 3 BM / MAZDA 2 DL-DJ > B45A 34 38XA > GENUINE PART

This is a Genuine OEM Front Shock Absorber Bearing, identified by the Mazda part number B45A 34 38XA. This component is critical for the MacPherson strut suspension system utilized across a wide family of modern Mazda vehicles built on the Skyactiv architecture. The standardization of this part ensures the consistent, high-quality steering feel that Mazda is known for across its compact and mid-size models.

The Absorber Bearing (or strut mount bearing) is a thrust bearing that is placed between the upper strut mount and the coil spring seat. Its primary job is to handle the vertical load while allowing the entire strut assembly to pivot effortlessly when the driver steers the wheels. This low-friction rotation is essential for:

Light and effortless steering
Proper steering self-centering
Eliminating grating/popping noises when turning the wheel
Failure of this bearing often results in binding or noise when steering. Replacing it with the Genuine Part ensures:

✔ Broad Compatibility: Guarantees correct fitment and optimal performance across multiple specified Skyactiv models.

✔ Smooth Operation: Restores the low-friction rotation intended by Mazda, essential for the vehicle's dynamic performance.

✔ Component Longevity: Protects the upper strut mount from premature wear due to binding.
