    CX-9 Transfer case or something else?

    What is the labor rate per hour? it seems like this is cheaper than koeppel mazda. They charge I believe now 115 per hour. You also didn't mention before that you bought all of the other little parts which is good because they cannot charge you for those since you are providing them with the...

    CX-9 Transfer case or something else?

    If you are paying the dealer will bill you 5 hours. If it was a warranty repair that mazda pays they only pay for 2.3 hours of labor. So figure around625 for labor plus tax and other small parts, that is what was on the estimate i saw.

    Popping noise when turning steering wheel while stationary

    I am thinking control arms also. The so called revised ones that mazda installed under the recall look the same. The only difference is that they have like spring clips that clip on to the ball joint. Do you think that worn wheel bearings could also cause this noise. This only happens when the...

    2012 CX-9 Front Wheel Hub /and/ Bearing

    You still have to press the new bearing into the new hub or spindle. Rock auto has a complete kit for 45 for each side which comes with a new nut and retaining ring as well as the hub and bearing. I would opt for that so that everything can be new.

    Any higher mileage 2nd Gen CX-9's out there?

    A couple of things I forgot to add. Since a couple of you have reached 40k or more has anyone had any problems with the wheel bearings and also has anyone serviced the transfer case since I read on this forum that the t-case has a fill as well as a drain plug.

    Transfer Case - 4WD Issues

    Wadewit go back to ebay and type mazda cx-9 transfer case. They have several brand new oem transfer cases from 650 to 700 shipped. Do not buy aftermarket especially when it is something like a transfer case that you can get oem new for a little bit more.

    CX9 preventative water pump replacement at 105k

    The timing chain should have only been parts since they have to remove that anyway. I guess the extra was for the radiator, hoses, thermostat and the belts and trans flush. They also probably didn't remove the engine becuase all of that would have been a lot easier and cheaper.

    CX9 Transfer case clunking - assume trans splines are toast?

    It might be the transfer case. Ask yourself this? you just spent about 1k on the services you listed above the axle replacement is not cheap and the engine service I am assuming is a spark plug change which is not cheap either. How many miles do you have on the vehicle. I have seen people spend...
