DESCRIPTION
Beginning with the CX-5 and Mazda6 models, grip type front and rear stabilizer bushings have been incorporated for noise prevention purposes. If any type of grease or lubrication is applied to the bushings, it may create
noise due to bushing slippage (CX-5 bushings shown below).
NOTE: To prevent noise from occurring, never apply any type of grease or lubrication to the front or
rear stabilizer bushings.
