why the guy above suggested you buy a salvage car (which i would never suggest) is beyond me as that means it could have many many issues that have been "fixed" i will inform you a little more on some mazda 3 relevant info one the 04-12s (before skyactive) all have passenger motor mount issues...

really? ive had a 2008 and now a 2011 and never had a bug or spider in them i also had a 2003 protege 5 and never had spiders either

(i know there are other threads for this but i did not see any firm answers on how to properly fix this out of warranty) ok, as the title says i have a 2011 3 with the active HID system anyways, the passenger side housing got some condensation in it after i hand washed the car at home for the...

hello miata owners, i am looking at getting a NC 07 mx5 and was wondering what audio upgrades are possible in these little cars. obviously i want to rid myself of of the old beat up factory stuff in the one i am looking at now, i do not believe the one i am looking at has bose, although it is a...

all the plastic under the hood shakes, it just does. as long as the engine is not moving when you gas it your good, check the mount on the passenger side of the motor see if it has failed that may help some if it has. my air filter box shakes at idle some.

yeah, i had changed the egr valve and i figured it was something simple i did wrong while doing the job but was not sure, i rechecked all the hoses in that area and found the pinch

Eh it could have been, but it had mazda stampings on it.Roads are mixed here i live in the dallas/fort worth metro some are bad some are nice and smooth. I try to drive to road conditions. I still dont know how or why it came loose like that. New arms helped the harshness alot, i thought struts...

UPDATE: for anyone following or wanting to know, new control arms and threadlocker on the bolts seems to have helped big time, the brakes act better, oddly enough it shifts better (mtx tranny) it was clunking into gear earlier not now. And vibration appears to have subsided, no noises and no odd...

figured this one out, i had the upper return hose for the expansion tank that runs between the radiator and the fan towards the grill (runs from tank on passenger side to radiator on drivers side) pinched near the drivers side, unpinched it and made sure what pinched it would not do so again all...

i was wondering what symptoms a loose control arm bolt might present on our cars 04-09 2.3 hatch? i found what is obviously a bolt that holds the control arm had backed out some on my drivers side i have been chasing a vibration through the wheel between 40 and 70 or so mph (i feel it at higher...

So changed the egr valve on my 2.3 08 in the process i removed the upper radiator hose and egr coolant hose, afterwords the egr was leaking coolant (had to tighten rear bolt down more) now its not overheating, does not appear to be leaking or losing coolant but the upper radiator hose is being...

yeah it seems the 3 (or maybe just mine) is very sensitive to tire pressure changes, as the cv axles made 85-90% of it go away but it still vibrated some but then adjusting the pressure fixed the rest, ive never had a car this sensitive to tire pressure change either, its odd i know.

ok so i was chasing a vibration issue nothing could be found wrong ball joints, tie rods, control arm bushings, swaybar links etc all checked out good so did wheel bearings and tire/wheel balance , cv axles helped tremendously (as one appeared to have seized on passenger side, however it still...

they appear to have fixed my original issue, it still vibrates at 60-70 but if i hold constant speed it does not and even when i dont it only vibrates for a few seconds then clears up after i reach the speed i am going to stay at. at first it was still vibrating then it was only if i changed...

for anyone else in the future who reads this thread and is having a vibration through the steering wheel at speeds from about 55-72ish mph and wheels and tires check out good and are balanced(check these first as this is the usual cause of this issue but i went through 2 sets of tires and 2 sets...

all the mounts i saw on my car were changed, i think the bottom right mount in your picture is for automatics, i did not see that mount anywhere on my car, i have a standard. the other 3 i recognize and were changed. i did both cv axles on my car this afternoon and after getting an alignment (we...
