Very good point and considering you have real experience post change, probably first I'll do the 3 things mechanic recommended I do. He's nice that way. Tells me "don't bother me, unless there's a real issue, save your $" type.

Used to +10 yrs ago. Now - no more.My M+S (Snow peak rated tires) handle North east snow perfectly fine. I think it was last or maybe earlier I posted here even how they managed with +6 inches snow effortlessly. Last year I had an emergency and had to drive at +70 mph thru snow baked roads (not...

Gotcha. However - the issue I have as described is with steering being more stiff than usual, nose of car bobbing a bit (I think). Probably struts may be fine but was thinking the bearings, mounts and bumper may be a problem.

That's what I am also thinking. Although its +10 yrs, (almost) 74k miles seems very low.

Recently swapped front suspension links. Clunking sound - gone. However, noticed steering wheel feeling a little stiff on turning, front of car seems to (am I dreaming) bobbing up/down in bumps. CX5 GT 2016 2.5L at 74k miles [US Ed]. When replacing stabilizer links somewhere I read struts need...

Thanks a ton man. I did the same. The jump in CCA makes it worth it. Esp. I bought thru Costco, price wise - the same!

I haven't done Optima but did Interstate (Costco). It fit perfectly. No cutting, etc. Even terminals fit. My issue is: The new high-capacity AGM battery using the charging profile intended for the older, smaller battery, which can lead to premature failure? OR: for AGM batteries its not really...

@Redtiger I am looking for a dashcam which offers Starvis 2 sensors both front and back. Both are 4K and can operate at minimum 30 fps. If higher - great. Both cameras have IMX678 sensors or at least the front has 678. Do you have any? Also - is there any with IMX 585 sensor please? OR, IMX 664?

It's getting cold and my battery gave me issues. Costco is nearby and coincidentally the guy there said he happens to have the same car as me. i.e. CX5 GT 2016. He said why not put group 24F and stressed on "F". It easily fits in the cavity where the group 35 goes and maybe I might need to saw...

I strongly suggest you start the process. You have my full unequivocal support. Just 1 thing to remember: If its thrown out, the counter party remember can sue you back for trying to malign their brand. Just a thought.

After +10 yrs of NYC / NJ roads finally encountered clunking sounds, etc. and found my sway bar links driver side: gone. I believe the correct part # is KD35-34-170. Just wondering if I am correct and as I usually buy only from MED MAZDA should I buy 2 of them? Is there any after market which...

There's a thread EXACTLY on that. Cruising speed and then when releasing gas and the car moves to neutral the vibration happens. It seems the mating of engine and transmission had a slightly loose bolt which starts to cause the problem. I am not saying that's indeed your case but checking the...

one of the 3 engine mounts may be slightly not torqued to specs.

Have someone put car on drive while brakes are pressed. Then ask that person to press gas really hard (RPM shoots up to almost 6 or 7) and then release and pulse few times. You should watch the engine from the top. if it shakes and especially the mount point - that's your issue.

Wait please. Check codes. Mazda is weird. In my case had a cylinder misfire and car went into limp mode. All over the dash this exact error message started to appear. After digging deep I found out Mazda disables all these automatic brake features if within car there's some danger of either...

Hello, We as family share Nissan Sentra 2017. Accidentally my son poured Techron while filling gas 20 oz came home , didn't tell me about it. I poured the 2nd. 20 oz. since I had told him I would. Then later he tells me he poured a can when filling up! Now, I am really worried. Can someone...

A week...approx. 30 odd miles.

@ruthrj YOU ARE AWESOME. The dealership did not put the air filter box clips on and inside there was no air filter. I had just installed a week prior a premium (not value priced) Mazda air filter. Worked like a champ now - no more jerking / shaking when idling. Engine light went away after 5...

70,000. CODE: P0171 -finally appeared. I am suspecting a vacuum leak perhaps? Ran live view using BlueDriver and collected short and long term fuel trim. The app said should be near 0. But if above 15% *which is what I see most of the time for short term* and if pedal is pressed - its dropping.

When idling and engine warmed up or cold doesn’t matter: off and on the car shakes. Engine RPM live view is around 750. However the throttle position live view shows intermittent jumps. When that happens the whole car shakes a bit. Happens for couple seconds randomly. In between usually like 2...
