Zero Knievel Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 1998 Mazda B3000 V6 2WD. The key issue here is that Ford/Mazda (B series made by Ford), did a digital update to the parts directory and accidentally cut/paste the wrong info into most everyone's database. Last time I had to deal with this, my dad hunted down a Mazda dealership where the parts department saved one of the hard copies of the parts list with the correct numbers for the parts. I gotta replace all the ball joints in my front suspension. This year's model has the uppers incorporated into the upper control arms, so the whole component must be replaced. I know what Mazda wants for parts, but I'm hoping other places have them for less. Below are Mazda's/Ford's part numbers. Upper R/H (passenger side) Control Arm - P/N ZZP1-34-211A Upper L/H (driver side) Control Arm - P/N ZZP1-35-211A Lower Control Arm Ball Joints - P/N ZZP1-34-550 If someone else carries these, I'd like to know if their part number in case the clerk I deal with isn't too bright about finding it in their system based on the OEM part numbers.

Zero Knievel Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 Never mind. I found a dealership in NC that had the parts at about as good a price as Autozone has them, but they had the correct part numbers and free shipping.

blackhawkxx Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I was talking to a guy the other day that was driving a old Mazda B3000 V6. It has 259,000 and still running. American junk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
