    Rear dampers (shocks): Mazda5 (2nd gen) vs. Mazdaspeed3

    The rear suspension is from the CX-7. I think this was due to added weight capacity. The valving and length of those is probably a compromise for use on multiple cars.

    2009 Mazda5 Apple CarPlay Infotainment Update

    I had to swap the little clips off the top of my old radio to make the new one snap in. For the time to set correctly I had to change the time zone that was set and then connected to Wi-Fi.

    Mazda5 Replacement Axles?

    No nvh change that I could notice. New motor mounts and struts were the biggest benefit. I got mine from Rock Auto

    2009 Mazda5 Apple CarPlay Infotainment Update

    I got my install mostly fine this weekend. Here are my outstanding issues. 1. Backup camera - I decided to order a surface mount camera to put in the back bumper instead of running wiring through the liftgate. Also, I finally figured out what wire is A6 referred to in the instructions after...

    My Climate control bulbs are out...Any recommendations?

    My Climate control bulbs are out. Does anyone have recommendations? Are the instant cluster and dash bulbs the same if I want to change colors? If I use LEDs can they be dimed?

    2009 Mazda5 Apple CarPlay Infotainment Update

    So I ordered one last night for $136. When I looked just a min ago there is now a $20 coupon so I cancelled and reordered this morning. I will be using Android Auto. My plan is to put one of the USB ports where the line in Jack is next to the power port. But I may need an extension for that...

    What to consider replacing "while in there" for a clutch job?

    If they are pulling the engine you might do the timing chain, guides, water pump and thermostat.

    Mazda5 TPMS light came on

    You can get the sensor replace without getting new tires. The system will try to read everytime you start driving. I think forscan or other readers can reset the light but it will come back on the next time you start driving and it scans for the transmitters and it does not find all of them or...

    CX-9 Right rear rocker molding backordered...Any leads?

    I finally got one from a somewhat local LKQ from a 2016. It was in decent shape so it probably matches better than a new one. This was actually the second one I found. A different local LKQ ordered one from somewhere else and then never got back with me. After two weeks of leaving voice mails...

    CX-9 Right rear rocker molding backordered...Any leads?

    Yes, the door bottom is bent out a little bit I can fix that. I have looked at lots of dealer parts sites and all but two showed backordered. Jim Ellis and another had it for over $300. I may try and call but I'm not sure my soul can handle it. Lots of parts people are nice, not all. The...

    CX-9 Right rear rocker molding backordered...Any leads?

    Our 2018 CX-9 GT had the right rear rocker molding knocked off on the interstate. Something went under the car and bounced out the side taking the molding with it. I'm not sure if that destroyed the part or if it was run over after that. Went back the next day and it was in pieces. By the time...
