did anyone here replace stock rear sway bar (not links) with beefy one like Corksport or Progressive? Does it help noticeably with side to side sway? KE model 2016 AWD 2.5L. Also, is there any guide? 1 shop quoted me 7 hrs. Another 4.5. Another 2.5. Very confused.

Tire may be over pressured. Different type of tire - harder compounds, 3 peak rated perhaps - you sacrifice comfort for durability. Worst case - bad manufacturing causing hi and low load spots which is extremely common. Regular balancing won't detect.

If you go back in time, early days 2017, I have made couple of posts regarding my convo with a JP engineer who worked in a senior position in Mazda. Yes - I can speak fluent Japanese and yes I have been to his place, his family mine here in US, etc. as we have a common friend / family. I don't...

And yes - final re-torque at ride height is absolutely mandatory. For control arms there are 2 bolts - which I re-torqued when in alignment rack from underneath. Effect was immediate compared to an earlier ride of 5 miles same road, torqued while on lift. I also took the opportunity to put EZ...

The issue is maintaining them. After 3 yrs or so stop greasing them and boom problems surface.

I did see the YouTube, the issue is this: If you have a stuck nut and you have time, then Kroil beats others. Unfortunately, Kroil is NOT a fast solution. Its used in places where they spray and leave. Come back next day. Then it really shines.

Just posted - I had gone with KONI, in fact my mechanic gladly took back my KYB and I lost just 1/3rd the price since it was so new. Replaced with KONI and its light and day difference when it comes to city /rural roads with potholes and bumps. Cornering, handling - all improved. And I just did...

After so many years my 2016 CX-5 struts got bad - really bad and I opted for KYB struts from Rockauto. Installed them around 8 weeks ago and found they are quite the same as OEM when OEM stuts were in good shape. Basically, nothing to write home about. For those wondering - why not a kit, with...

Factory lasted 8 to 9 yrs. Probably less, since my clunky stabilizer links hit the issue. I'd say $70 + $70 and $200 labor (that's what mechanic quoted me) and if lasts 4 yrs, I'll still be okay.

Amazon has it = the whole shebang....

3 days worth of PB Blaster and Benzomatic, etc. was used to release few bolts on my 2016 Mazda 3 weeks ago. Met a guy who works in Newark Airport and he suggested I instead try Kroil Original Penetrating Oil Boy oh boy - this thing really works. My passenger side was worse and I was putting...

Yeah I get it. But lowest I found was $250 a pop. Dealer price was + $310 here. Sorry - but can't simply afford that much. Delphi was $70. I checked around - folks said very decent quality.

2016 2.5 GT AWD - confirmed control arm bushings - gone. The OEM control arms (front - left/right) are just too expensive. Any thoughts on Delphi? Delphi TC7800 Delphi TC7801

Yes. Just got back from dealership. The tech confirmed likewise.

Exact same as OP described. Fixed by replacing the stabilizer links. Clunk remained and then replaced the bushings too. Went away. An auto body shop told me - always when changing links change the bushings too. Paid labor twice, lesson learned.

1 thing: thank you all! Really. For I was planning to replace my struts thinking its bad. Now I just saved myself quite a big chunk of $$. I just feel perhaps this exercise should be done by all who change the links. Perhaps not applicable to most but just in case.... I say this since not only...

Please see: Stabilizer links with OEM replaced - but weird now when driving

No - but son uses a software called Grammer called GrammerCheck - which I also use. Pretty good and re-formats too
