Take it off the car and take it to a shop to have the bearing presed in and out.

If you decide that you wanna try the main switch send me a PM, I have one for sale.

bent tracks, defective regulators, off track in the door jam. I'd tear it open and start tracking the problem. On this car it is super easy to remove the door panel.

Do you have 4 bent rims or two? Swap back to front if only two to confirm it is the rims. You can also put spare tire to basically find which single rim is bent.

Where do you guys drive? I just move far away from work and I can barely drive 15k miles a year. How can you do 40? Do you live in the car? (uhm)

You can also get a wiring diagram for both and compare what goes where, multimeter would probably be a faster way.

13.5 is what your voltage normally is when the car is running. Just use a few temp wires to splice for a test, it should just work.

$60 for aftermarket and $160 for OEM. Remember that OEM is just an aftermarket part in an OEM box :) Mazda does not make motors, they buy and resell.

Things happen and not every car is perfect. Yours might have suffer something with you or the previous owner or just equipment failure. I have seen cars with torn boots after 3 years and I've see with original after 10, so depends. 100k miles is a lot and depending on the road, environment and...

Shop around a little. This is a monkey-wrench job (as in, it is not very hard just takes time) so a lot of shade tree mechanics should be able to do it. Check some discount auto repair shops in your area for the job and ebay/amazon for parts. I see used going for $30 and new for $60 ish. Here is...

this is aftermarket. One of the things that should never been done after the fact, if you want sunroof, get factory, it is more then just cutting a hole in the roof. Good luck troubleshooting. You can also take it a body shop and ask them to completely seal with like polyurethane glue and never...

Look around for 2008+ instead of 2006, the effort and expense might not worth the savings.

Picked the car today from the repair shop. $6500 later (insurance paid) and the can is as good as new. Probably even better now then before. They replaced all the parts with the new OEM, repainted and fixed little things left over from the previous time. (I bought car rebuilt) New paint on the...

This has been talked a lot here, feel free to search the forum. link to the best threads: • How-To flush Transmission fluid / Transmission oil compatibility / Tranny fluid thread, there pre-2012 how-to, should be close to 2012.

Sounds strange. I got el'cheapo eBay set and no noise at all. Some pads are noisier then others.

You can buy a used OEM key from a wrecker if in good condition. Check ebay. I've also had good luck with Chinese remotes but the quality varies from seller to seller.

I don't know why ATF fluid change would make it underivable. Use Castrol import ATF fluid, drain a gallon and put a gallon in, drive 15 minutes, do it again and do it again after for 3 times total.
