Product Overview

The strut mount, OEM number BBM2-34-380, is the front top strut mounting fitted to the Mazda 3, BK chassis, also sold as the Mazda Axela, spanning model years 2003-2013 across sedan, hatchback, and Mazdaspeed3 variants. This part has an extensive documented supersession history running through B39D-34-380, BP4K-34-380A through D, and BP4L-34-380, and since one is required per side, this is a steady, high-turnover part for anyone stocking Mazda 3 suspension components.

Worn or failing units typically show up as a knocking or clunking noise from the front suspension over bumps, a creaking sound when turning the steering wheel, or uneven tire wear linked to suspension alignment changes. GSK Auto manufactures this strut mount to OEM specification at our Ningbo, China facility, with every unit tested before packing. We supply at wholesale volume with low MOQ and support private label packaging, with our team available to confirm fitment before shipping.

(Confirm against your VIN or chassis code before ordering - this mount has an extensive supersession history across multiple part number revisions, so it's worth checking which number your customer's parts records reference, and confirming quantity needs since one is required per side.)

What Is a Strut Mount?

Function: The strut mount connects the top of the front strut assembly to the vehicle's body, allowing the strut to pivot as the wheel turns while also supporting the vehicle's weight at that corner and absorbing road vibration.

Working Principle: A rubber isolator inside the mount allows the strut to rotate smoothly as the steering turns the wheel, while a bearing inside the mount reduces friction during that rotation, and the rubber also dampens vibration and noise from the suspension before it reaches the cabin.

Importance: A worn strut mount affects both ride quality and steering feel, since a deteriorated mount can allow excess play or noise in the suspension, and in more advanced cases can affect wheel alignment and tire wear patterns.

Common Failures & Signs: Rubber isolator deterioration causing excess play or noise. Knocking or clunking noise from the front suspension over bumps. Creaking or groaning noise when turning the steering wheel at low speed. Uneven tire wear linked to suspension geometry changes from a worn mount.
