are there any tutorials out there on how to do this? I haven't been able to find any

Is there any way to remove the painted part of the side mirror and put it on a replacement mirror? I just broke my passenger side mirror last night and I'm looking for a replacement, but I would rather not have to go through the hassle of painting it if I can just take the plastic from the...

Mine also sounds nothing like Yelo's. It's not near that loud, and it's more of a pronounced tick, like you can hear each revolution of the engine.

Mine Seems to be similar to Moonman's, although I haven't heard it in a few days now. The noise is confined to the 2.7-3k range, once you go above that, it goes away. I'm thinking if it was a rod bearing, the noise would happen at almost any RPM. Has anyone else had this experience?

I'll check on it tonight when I get home from work, but it seems to sound more like a ticking, not necessarily metallic, just kind of a flat tick.

It's not a real loud noise, and I haven't noticed any difference in performance yet...If I take it to a dealer, do you guys know about how much it is going to cost me if they don't find anything? If they do find something,the car is still under warranty for a couple more months. I could remove...

I don't think this is related to the recall, and Mazda's website does not say my car is affected by the recall, but when I rev the engine to about 3k RPM and hold it there, it has a slight clicking noise. I can only hear it when I have my windows down and I'm next to a wall (something for the...

I tried greasing what I thought are the bushings, and the sound went away for a couple weeks, but it is back now. I found it kind of odd, that the "bushings" are just rubber pieces that the sway bar goes through. Does anyone know of an aftermarket solution that is better than this?

Do you guys know where I can find a tutorial? I couldn't find where the grease points are on the car.

I just started noticing this a couple of weeks ago when it started getting cold outside. I live in an apartment complex, and in the mornings, when I go over the speed bumps, I hear this horrible (I would describe it as a scraping) sound from the front drivers side suspension. This only happens...

anyone else in the Columbus area?

Onatrum, doesn't look like I'm going to be able to meet ya this week, maybe some other time

I may have some time on Friday, depending on if all of our work gets done early for the week or not. Should know tomorrow

Thanks for the offer, but I already have plans for this weekend. Perhaps another time

Protege5, but mp3 or mazdaspeed would also work
