OK, all is done, but something is still wrong.
When I turn hard, left or right, I hear some clonking sound in the back, also when I go up on my driveway. I have removed the left rear wheel, double checked my work, but I did not find anything wrong. When I was trying to tighten the bolts, the rear control arm bushing was moving to easily in my opinion. It seemed to soft.
When I was driving on the freeway, there was a pretty bad bouncing at the front, that I have felt in the steering wheel and even a bit in the gas pedal.
This is why I have replaced my struts/shocks in the first place, and the problem is still present.
I'm at 64k, with still on stock struts/shocks and CS springs, so most likely they needed replacing anyway. I had a slight balancing issue with the front tires(America's Tire never does a good job) around 72 MPH. It wasn't too bad to bother going back and complain about them.
I have also rotated my tires at this time(Nitto Motivo sucks, only two years and three months and my front tires need to be replaced, I have ~25k on them: they are a 60k tire !).
So, new brakes, new struts, tires rotated(the rear ones were good, no balancing issues(after the second time I have visited Americas Tire, of course). All four ball joint boots are cracked open. They don't feel lose, though. I'm very upset and most likely my next car won't be a Mazda.
Driver seat's bottom has a creaking sound, most likely another bed welding spot has cracked. The bottom part of the seat was replaced a while ago because of horrible sound coming from the motor.
Rear spoiler clear coat is almost completely gone, everywhere else is great, no clear coat issues.
Driver mirrors still shakes, after dealer applied a fix. Spoiler nuts are falling off constantly.
Man I miss my 08' VW Rabbit. I had the same mileage, purchased it new, around 6-1/2 years that I had it (almost as with the CX5) and I have never had a single issue with it, no one.
Most likely, I need all four control arms replaced.
