✔ Genuine OEM Suspension Component
✔ Part Number: BBM2 34 111 (Mazda/Ford Genuine)
✔ Component Name: Stopper Bush Absorber Front (Front Strut Bump Stop / Buffer)
✔ Designed for multiple compact platforms: Mazda 3 (First Gen BK chassis) and Ford Kuga (First/Second Gen, $1.5\text{L}$ & $1.6\text{L}$ models), due to platform sharing (Ford C1 platform).
✔ Location: Front Axle Suspension (inside the front strut assembly)
✔ Function: Limits the compression travel of the front strut assembly, preventing component damage (bottoming out).
✔ Essential for protecting the front struts and maintaining stable handling on both the sedan and the compact SUV.
This is a Genuine OEM Front Shock Absorber Bump Stop, identified by the part number BBM2 34 111. This component is a critical standardized part used across vehicles built on the Ford C1 platform, including the Mazda 3 (First Generation, BK chassis) and the Ford Kuga compact SUV, covering models with $1.5\text{L}$ and $1.6\text{L}$ engines.
The Stopper Bush (or bump stop) is made of a durable, compressible, and progressive-rate material. It is fitted onto the strut piston rod and acts as a final cushion, absorbing the highest-force energy when the suspension is fully compressed (e.g., hitting a large bump or heavily loading the vehicle). This prevents harsh, damaging metal-on-metal contact (bottoming out), which could compromise the strut's performance and lifespan.
Replacing an old, brittle, or cracked bump stop with the Genuine Part ensures:
✔ Direct Fit: Guarantees correct fitment and optimal energy absorption characteristics for both compatible platforms.
✔ Strut Protection: Prevents internal damage and prolongs the service life of the front struts.
✔ Ride Consistency: Maintains the designed travel limits and contributes to stable and comfortable handling.
Compatible Vehicle:
Mazda 3 BK (First Generation, 2006-2014 models, Front Suspension)
Ford Kuga (Models with $1.5\text{cc}$ and $1.6\text{cc}$ engines, Front Suspension)
