Common questions
Which vehicles use OE CBM-18?
OE CBM-18 is a ball joint fitted to 2 distinct vehicle variants: Mazda LUCE-RE (RX-4, RX-9), Mitsubishi Mirage. SLOOPZONE's SKU SLSB-0129 is the SLOOP-manufactured replacement for every one of those applications.
Why is the same OE part number used across different vehicles?
Automakers share chassis platforms across model lines (Honda/Acura, Toyota/Lexus, Hyundai/Kia) so identical control-arm, tie-rod-end, and ball-joint geometries get re-used. When the original OEM specifies the same part number on multiple cars, the same SLOOP replacement fits every one.
Is the SLOOP replacement interchangeable across all listed vehicles?
The OE number is interchangeable on the original vehicles. SLOOPZONE produces 2 variant SKUs (SLSB-0129, SLSB-0108) — the fitment table shows which SLOOP SKU is the validated replacement for each listed vehicle. Order the SKU that matches the row for your vehicle/year/position.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Minimum invoice value is USD 5,000 per shipment. You can mix and match SKUs across categories to reach the floor; there is no minimum quantity per SKU within that envelope. Payment is 100% T/T bank wire in advance.
