Well, we still have the vibe, but only on the drivers side in both front and middle seats. Steering wheel shimmies at same speeds, again, inconsistently. It's just weird. I don't drive the car often but when I do it annoys the heck out of me, because otherwise the car would/should be smoooth. I...

If it is me you are asking, I don't know. I had the dealer do it (warranty). Had them replace # 3 and 4. The # 4 mount is what resolved the main vibrations, changing the # 3 mount didn;t change much. The steering wheel still shimmys at 100km/h +, ever so slightly, but enough to put my hand to...

I'm not certain what it's called, but yes, it was trimmable (I didn;t trim it as it fits almost perfectly anyway, and we keep it rolled when not in use). It doesn;t work for you?

This link shows the location of all the mounts (including #3). I got the link from this site. hth TV http://www.finishlineperformance.com/pdf/mazda5/bulletin/03-001-07-1823.pdf

Yes. This drove me crazy when we first got the 5. Looked into different ideas. Got the cargo liner from walmart for like 17$. It's grey. I keep it rolled up when the back seats are up, but when I put them down (to put stuff back there), I roll it out and place my items on it. No more...

Well, the advisor called me this morning to tell me they changed the # 3 motor mount, and the vibrations are gone (I will have to test myself as well). They also changed the left rear shock cause it was leaking.... I told them the car would jump sideways when hitting a bump with that wheel. I'll...

Funny you post this. I am taking my 5 gt in today for the 3rd time concerning this (issue has not yet been resolved). I have the vibes you have at those speeds, as well as between 70-80mph. 3 different sets of wheels/tires in the front (all brand new), road force balanced, etc. Issue still...

Hmm. Didn't notice it (I did a search in this forum, maybe I'll check the others as well). I went by the dealer yesterday to ask their opinion about the liner, they said it's only to keep the area clean, and that things will still slide around. I guess the 3 liner is different then? I'll search...

If you're talking about my winter wheels, they're hub centric (correct centerbore diam.). Not "universal" fit.

Wife and I just purchased an 08 gt with 24k kms, auto, last week. Had brand new steelies+winter tires installed as well. Noticed that between 75-85 kms/h, we get vibes from the front end, especially noticeable in the passenger side footwell (kinda like accelerating with a bad axle). Most...

Hello everyone, What do you use in the back of your 5 to keep things from sliding around/banging all over the place? Have any of you tried the Mazda cargo liner? Does it keep things in place? Any other suggestions? I will pass by the dealer tonight to take a look at it anyway. I also found a...

Well, I'm new here (1st post: ) ). Wife and I just picked up our 08 gt with 23k kms on it yesterday, and both noticed the lack of heat from the seats. Although, truth be told, we noticed the same thing on a test drive we did with an 2010 model last week as well. They'll give a little "blast" of...
