I had thought this was an option. I had read a long time ago that the rear suspension was shared with the CX-7 and the Mazda5. I could not find the article to verify so I did not bring it up. Maybe the right lowering springs for a CX-7 might give you the capacity and height you desire.

You might try a local suspension shop that could make different coils. Or search for air bags. I just found some Firestone kits on Summit Racing . com for your car. You should call then to make sure you get the right fit if you go that route.

I had almost everything back together when remembered I had them. I was under the car and could not get a socket on them and gave up quickly. They old ones are still quiet so I did not worry about it. Maybe later.

So I got the Reline MTL in the transmission today. Took it out for a test drive and the only issue was a dragging sound from the passenger side. It turned out I must have bent the brake shield at some point and it was touching the rotor. I also did not replace the sway bar to frame bushings. I...

So everything is back together. The only thing I need to do is fill the transmission. My pump will be here Friday I hope. I test started the engine without issue.

Today I got the new master cylinder in and bled, I hope. The CV axts are in. Next are the struts.

The video I watched showed just moving the strut and hub out of the way to get the CV axles out. Not sure if i'm allowed to post links, sorry in advance. CV axle removal is covered about 13 min into the video. you only have to do the outer on the right side if you are not dropping the transmission.

This is the biggest repair I have ever done. Brakes, water pumps, thermostats, shocks oil changes are my normal. I did the timing belt on my 91 Miata, under valve cover harness repair on my diesel Excursion and helped my brother a little on his 95 Miata engine swap. Here is my list of parts...

The transmission is back in the car. It is not torqued down yet and nothing else has been put back in. I am having trouble aligning the starter.

I have replaced the pilot bearing, the rear main seal and the new fly wheel of on.

The transmission is out. There was a tenth bolt hiding from me.

I found 9 bolts holding the transmission to the engine. I have removed the starter. It still will not separate. Short time to work today. I will continue tomorrow.

Got the passenger side strut and axle out. I have the transmission almost out. The starter and a couple of bolts are all that are holding it in. The engine has a support bar holding it and a transmission jack under it.

I have the drivers side CV axle out. Hope to get the other side out tomorrow. It should go faster with knowledge from first side.

So this last week I got everything needed to replace the clutch and flywheel. Including front struts and CV axles. Got in the garage today and started taking things apart.

I might be interested. What part of the world are you in?

My Mazda 5 has second row captains chairs with a smaller third row. We also had them on our previous Ford Freestyle but with a center console that with some effort came out. I found it a plus in both situations. So much so I am constantly looking for a set for my Ford Excursion. It makes access...

My fog light housings came in two weeks ago and got everything installed yesterday. Plug and play factory stuff is great.

I read somewhere that push starting a car can dump fuel into the catalytic converter and ruin it

I am in the US. Specs could be different.
