Front Shock Absorber for Mazda CX-3 2018–2023, RH, DH2E34700A

Mazda CX-3 front shock absorber is an important suspension component that controls spring and vehicle body movement when the front wheels travel over uneven roads, potholes or speed bumps. It helps improve ride comfort, handling and vehicle stability while driving.

Over time, a shock absorber may wear internally, leak oil or lose its damping ability. When this happens, the vehicle may bounce more than usual, make knocking noises at the front wheels, or feel less stable when braking and cornering.

Front shock absorber DH2E34700A is listed for the 2018–2023 Mazda CX-3, RH side. Before replacement, confirm the correct right-hand side as viewed from the driver's seat facing the front of the vehicle. Also check the vehicle trim and suspension configuration to avoid confusing it with the opposite side.
