Help me find a part...

Yo.

Can't find a part anywhere!

I need a rear strut mount for my mk2 mazda 3

I can only find mk1 mounts. No mention if they are the same.

Can anyone help me source a mount?

Phone a Mazda dealer and get the part number.

Will do that tomorrow. I was hoping someone may know a place online

Will be the safest way to get the right part.

It's the rear upper shock mount that you need? Probably have more luck search for "Shock Mount" rather that "Strut".

I'm sure it is, a lot of stuff got carried over from mk1. They're cheap enough tbh and design is not that different to many other manufacturers.

https://youtu.be/ZvkMiA8nQ2U 14:12 looks exactly the same as my BK, I'm 99% sure they'll be the same.
