    To TINT or not to TINT?

    The factory privacy glass is allowed in New York state. You just can't tint the front doors or the windshield. The thing is i see a lot of sedans which cannot have tint at all with 2018 inspection stickers. I don't think that all these people got medical exceptions for the tint. I am guessing...

    Radiator question

    What is the difference between the radiators with the tow package as opposed to the radiators without the tow package. Does the heavy duty cooling one have an extra hose going into it. This is for the 2007-15 cx9. Can you use a heavy duty towing one on a 9 that doesn't have the tow package?

    CX9 replacement of both front lower control arms and spacers

    As far as advice I don't know. What I will tell you is I have a similar noise when going in reverse and turning one side only. The only difference between the old control arms and the new re-designed ones is that they added clips that go on top of the ball joint to keep them from coming out. The...

    10' CX9 Drinking coolant!!!//overheating

    pressurize the system and add a dye to see if you can spot any leaks. I was lucky when my water pump went because I had a big leak by the water pump. This does not always happen. With some it never leaks the coolant just gets into the oil and then the car shuts off. Let me know what happens.

    Mazda Extended Confidence

    If I were you I would get some kind of warranty extension. When I purchased my 2007 new mazda did not sell extended warranties. I got a one source 3rd party warranty from the dealer.

    Coolant recovery tank

    My mazda is a 2007 with 99,400 miles on it. This is the second water pump. Mazda replaced it at 66,800 miles. If this is true what you are saying then the dealer can't fix this right either. The first time it went there was no wet spots on the rubber part of the motor mount. It just started...
