Sweet looking ride, Mike! I've been eyeing a CPO 2022/2023 CX-9 GT myself and aiming to get one sometime next year. I rented a 2018 CX-9 GT for a few days and I enjoyed driving and even the wife approved an upgrade as our next car. Can't wait for the upgraded goodies like the improved HD...

Thanks guys, What's the cheapest way to skip out on the diagnosis fee? I've already had an oil change a week ago. Should I bring the printed TSB withe me when I go?

Thank you yrwei, it's frustrating to say the least. I'll get another opinion from another dealership.

Hi everyone, Been noticing my 2018 CX-5 with 55k miles having an intermittent thunking noise when driving and groaning noise when backing up. Took it a couple of shops and they said everything is fine and wasn't able to reproduce the issue, Finally a third shop test drove it and informed me one...

Thanks guys! It's a 2018 Sport model and I have a $1000 deducible. As much as I'd like to fix it, it's not my top priority as it's only cosmetic. Upon further inspection, it may appear to be intentional.

Hey guys, Hope everyone is enjoying a three day weekend. I came out to my car to see this after parking. Any idea on a cheap fix? I prefer not to spend money I don't have to fix a cosmetic issue. I appreciate everyone for any helpful advice. Thanks

Thanks for confirming. Hope the info helps someone out there!

Appreciate the info. It fits the 3,6 and CX-5 but I can't speak for the CX-9. Originally I wanted the Corksport one but the CS parts specialist informed me it wouldn't fit.

Apologies for the late update. The entire installation process went smoothly and the mechanics and manager were knowledgeable in what they're doing in slightly lowering the subframe. As requested, the Progress bar was set on the softer setting and I can definitely feel a measurable difference...

Gonna get the sway bar installed tomorrow at the shop. I ordered some upgraded MOOG endlinks which won't arrive until tomorrow, meaning I will have to resort to using the current OEM ones. If I wish to upgrade them to a later time, does anyone know if it's a straightfoward process that isn't too...

Thansk yrwei, The dealership guy might have misunderstood me when he quoted me for $250. Maybe it was for the part and not the install. What a waste of time. I will stick to calling around locally.

I have a FWD. I'm sure I could get the job done for cheaper somewhere but want to avoid the old rund-around. "Computer says its 4 hours of labor so cost will be XXX and if I can get it done sooner, I'll subtract it."

All these mechanics aren't as talented as Chris haha. I called a Mazda dealership and was quoted $250 for the installation with no warranty. I think that's reasonable right guys?

The installation requires a drop of the subframe which may require up to 4 hours of labor. hmm that's pricey.

I was literally in the same boat as you back in June. I had a damaged tire after work and needed some tires the next day. The most convenient tire shop was at Costco so I settled for the X-Tour AST which supposedly is the Costco's exclusive version of the Defender T+H. I haven't had any issues...

What's the typical time and cost to install the upgraded bar? CS's website said it should take an hour to complete. I've asked around 2 shops, one was a local mechanic that I regularly go to for maintenance $800 to swap out the bar. I didn't bother to ask for further clarification or breakdown...

Thanks guys! The Progress sway bar arrived today and I can't wait to have it installed next week.

Thank you for the links kind sir. I asked CS and the specialist informed me the MZ3 sway bar would only be compatible with the MZ6 and not the CX-5. That's why I figured to ask. since JBR produces a single bar for the 3/6/CX-5. I found this one which has great reviews on other sites and is...

Hey guys, Been considering a rear sway bar upgrade to make my daily commute not so boring. After browsing the net, most rear sway bars are for the Mazda 3. Are they interchangeable with the CX-5 FWD? Theoretically they should be compatible? CX-5 Rear sway bar end link options? The OP was able...

Yes, I was able to run off the paint on the cladding. Here's what it currently looks like and I'm just grateful it wasn't too serious. I truly appreciate everyone's concerns, suggestions and recommendations!
