    Clunk/pop in drivers front wheel

    Get a pry bar(or big screwdriver) and start moving things around, if you see to much movement, you found your issue. All my ball joints(at 63k, in LA-read hot weather)) lost their grease and the boots are all cracked open, some all around. Though I don't hear or feel anything weird yet. I'm also...

    Show me your CX-5 wheels

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    I was wondering about the torquing. These are aluminum nuts, they should be tightened to 90-100 as steel ones? The old ones were popping like crazy, when I was removing them. Wheel and nut are the same material, which I know is not a good thing. I guess, soon I will need to replace all four ball...

    Acceleration difference in 2019 from 2016

    Most likely, the 2014 Touring is faster than the GT, because it was lighter. Less features, no leather seats.

    I'm in your situation as well, factory struts/shocks and CS springs. Once in a while, I look into these kits, but for now, the factory struts/shocks are still working great, at 62k miles. I'm not planning to spend $1000 on a set, most likely won't be getting cheap Chinese ones either. I'm...

    Possibly a paddle shift swap into Gen 2 CX-5

    Yeah, the Kenstyle paddles, are replacement for the existing small plastic paddles. They look good and feel so good(they are most likely aluminum).
