Other than ride height and rear suspension…IMO.. doubtful anything physically different with powertrain of significance https://www.greenwaymazda.com/mazda-cx-50-vs-cx-5-comparison/

Do you know what the thickness of the affected area is on the original 2.5L? Curious how much it was reduced

Early worn can just make for sloppy handling without clunks and squeaks … at least that was the case on a few of my older vehicles in the past.

Maybe this will help with troubleshooting?

Curious if your rear wiper and cargo light still work? When my rear BCM went out those two items didn’t work in the rear. Is your cargo area running the stock incandescent bulb or was it upgraded to an LED?

@Bear1967 Cabin fair filter and spark plugs aren’t far behind

@tx990.. this specific issue is not applicable to your ‘16

They can be made reliable. My father’s old ‘93 Isuzu Trooper (he purchased new) has power folding mirrors that still work to this day. I have them on my ‘12 GX 460 and never an issue with them there either.

FSM so far doesn't seem to cover that repair... only the left and right drive shaft seals

Since I have no noticeable oil consumption and drivetrain noise is fine with me… I’m sticking with Mazda 0W-20 Moly for this vehicle’s life. :-) @JustThisguy - I just did a full brake job (rotors, pads, hardware) and full brake fluid flush with a Motive bleeder...

I think this is the first I've seen of a halogen to AFS-HID retrofit on a 13-15 CX-5 Did you base this on an exist writeup somewhere? If so..can you point to it? I have stock AFS-HIDs in my '15 but still curious

Put the wheels back on this morning and took it out for a test drive. Perfect in all regards... braking, pedal feel, and stopping distance feels like new

I didn’t get a chance to take a picture of extracted fluid but it was a little darker than vial on the left. Easy one person job… sit back and wait for fluid bleed on each wheel. I try to keep the bleeder container at 10 psi. I put fluid in pressure container with mine.. I know some just use...
