    Rear Brake Pad Wear Indicator Clip Position

    I just installed the OEM rear pads. I noticed the same thing you did. The new pads had the same orientation for the wear indicator. So installing them one side would be flipped. I don't believe its an issue, both directions would still contact the rotor once the pad is worn.

    How long did your brake pads last?

    I'm about to hit 30k and my rear pads look pretty worn. I ordered some OEM replacements from Mazda and this came. Does Akebono manufacturer our OEM pads? I thought it was someone else? This is for 2014. Also does anyone know who makes the value product line for Mazda?

    New here

    Work XD-9 wheels in bronze 18x9. It was on Tein SS coilovers and I would raise it up for winter and rock the stock wheels with blizzaks. The high mileage was also due to long road trips looking for places to go snowboarding so I loved the roof rails. I actually installed the OEM roof rails on my...

    The CX-5 LED Lighting Thread

    So all the connectors are plug and play if youre swapping from OEM bulb taillights to OEM LED taillights? I've been considering swapping MY14 with '16 LED tails. I haven't pulled the trigger cause I wasn't sure if the connectors are the same.

    Got my car back. After talking with the service advisor, all they did was remove a bolt and glue part of the filler to make sure its sealed. Recall done and I got my the facelifted mirrors on my 2014 GT

    New owner (maybe?) + Recall Notice!?

    Dropped off my car on Tuesday and they just finished the recall today. I'll be picking it up tonight. They told me over the phone it was a very easy fix. I'll ask more once I pick up the car.

    New owner (maybe?) + Recall Notice!?

    I took my car in to get the vibrating mirror fixed on my 2014 GT, and the dealership told me about this recall. Informing me that I shouldn't drive it home till the recall is fixed. So they gave me a loaner which Mazda will pay for. I wasn't given a timeframe on when the fix will happen, but...
