    2009~2013 Mazda3 Bearing like noise when turning left only

    I agree, at this point that may be the best course of action. I've not found a shop I fully trust in my area and would've been pretty upset to pay someone to replace two bearings and two axles only for that not to be the issue. I'll research some small independent shops and see what I can find...

    yes both sides have had the bearings (and hubs) and axles replaced. the only part that hasn't been touched is the bearing on the intermediate shaft from the diff to the passenger side axle

    2009~2013 Mazda3 Bearing like noise when turning left only

    Update to this after I've been able to do some work. Looking for any advice or experience anyone has with this sort of issue. I replaced the passenger side axle (up to the intermediate shaft), passenger side wheel bearing, trans fluid, and brakes (upon further inspection, it was pad slapped...

    2009~2013 Mazda3 Bearing like noise when turning left only

    Hey Boland thanks for the reply. I did inspect the boots when I replaced the driver wheel bearing and there’s no tears or leaks coming from either boot that I could see. Would the noise be completely gone when turning right if it was an axle? Axles are the same price as redline fluid so not too...

    2009~2013 Mazda3 Bearing like noise when turning left only

    I bought a 2012 Mazda3 GT hatch with the 2.5 and 6MT and it was advertised as having a bad driver front wheel bearing. I concurred with this on the test drive as I’ve experienced that problem before, negotiated down, bought it, and replaced the wheel bearing. The noise persisted so I replaced...

    Returning MSP to mostly stock

    Thanks for the info and quick responses. Wasn't expecting so much activity for a 14 year old car, it's nice there's still a lot of support for the car!

    Returning MSP to mostly stock

    Okay, thanks. If it's fine at 10 then I may as well keep it there. Is the upgraded welded diff even necessary at <10psi? I've read the diff and the exhaust are not that strong so I've been looking around for the upgraded parts so that if/when they break I know where to go to get a new one. With...

    Returning MSP to mostly stock

    Thanks for the quick reply. Just search super map on here? I've never done any tuning of any sort but I'm sure there's some sort of DIY. Does the super map lower the boost back to 7ish? And for removing the MBC, is it just a simply remove and you're done?

    Returning MSP to mostly stock

    I'm buying a 2003 MSP next week and it as an MBC and SplitSecond controller. Is there anything that needs to be done to remove these and if they are removed do I need to tell the computer anything? It has a FMIC which I would like to keep on but I'd like to return to stock boost (and maybe get...

    What have you done to your P5 today?

    I have done hours of research as to what parts would be the necessary for a full mazdaspeed conversion so I know what I'm getting into! Thanks so much for your input, I'll try to use it to my advantage

    What have you done to your P5 today?

    has anyone on here installed a full mazdaspeed suspension on their P5? I'm curious if its more or less comfortable or if you really notice. i realize its stiffer all around but I've driven a few mazdaspeeds and they felt really nice. I'm trying to convince my dad to install it on his P5 but he...
