I just called a local shop and they quoted $350 for both fronts (labor only) , I supply the parts about $110 each from RockAuto (p/n 1027956 and 1027955) . Is this $350 machine shop price inline and reasonable. I would do it myself but I'm too old for this and it's pretty rusted down there...

question: after control arm replacements, is an alignment required ?

not sure but in the video comments, one of the posters that actually bought them said the bent formed bars are solid metal bars (not hollow)

looks like a solid safe concept, to use the same jack point as the jack .. A better jackstand by ETA MFG, Rennstands! NTDT

Hi yrwei52, would you recommend using OEM Mazda brake fluid? or it doesn;t really matter as long as it's DOT3 ? Amazon sells the MAzda OEM, but not sure if it;s worth it, and you think I'll need 4 bottles (12 fluid oz per bottle) for a drain and flush ? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BNVJYMU/

I installed this Megan Racing strut tower brace bar as well over the weekend and can confirm the front feels stiffer and more rigid and less body roll when going into turns above 40+mph, definitely improved handling up front, less dipping when going into turn...... super easy install... see...

Hi, I only used OEM, I had no fitment issues and the installation was easy, I just followed the youtube videos.. I figured if the original OEM parts lasted 162,000 miles, might as well go with OEM and try to reach 300,000 miles without changing again. I'm going to drive this thing until it...

162,000 miles here. 2016.5 CX-5 GT, hands down best car I ever own, no issues *knock on wood*. Only regular maintenance like oil change (used only Pennzoil Platiunum syn oil + K+N oil filter), engine and cabin air filter change every year. spark plugs changed at 125k miles, Drain and fill...

thanks clownshoes2, yeah but the day after, my back hurts. LOL.. the local shop quoted me $400 with the parts so yeah, I had to do it myself.....

I did mine over the weekend, my 2016 has 162,000 miles on it. The belt tensioner was shot to hell, oil leaked..... probably a long time ago, but car still drove fine. The serpentine belt was in pretty bad shape, cracks all over the place. the water pump belt was okay, no cracks but...

I did mine at 150K , the fluid was dark brown. I didn't see "good debris" or bits of black clutch material in the fluid which I take as a good thing, I'm glad I changed it, i will keep changing at 50K intervals. I think there is some truth that transmission starts to slip if the fluid that...

Hey yrwei52, yeah, it's been awhile... good to be back. My 2016 CX-5 is still running great, best SUV I ever owned. Only complaint I have is the headlights are getting a cloudy film from the inside and outside the headlihgt housing is getting oxidized and show signs of crazing. 160K...
