Orig owner. Picked it up with 2 miles. At about 6000 I noticed it was getting challenging to keep it in the center of my lane. Always having to correct the direction to bring it back to center. I've varied the tire pressures. I've inspected the wheel bearings. I've inspected the tie rods. I...

Pulled the 3rd row out of my car and put in a 3/8" plywood floor. Three 14mm headed bolts, one electrical connector and 2 plastic clips that hold down the butt cushion. Pivot those to the driver side. Those were the only thing that was tricky. I made a cardboard template. Max size 53" long...

Anybody have this? Here is what I have done. It's a CX9 but same front end and maybe you guys can shed some light on my nightmare. Tighted all 12 cowl bolts to spec and test drove, removed cowl plate from vehicle and test drove, removed end links and secured sway bar and test drove, removed...

Anybody here put on a strut tower cross brace? Thinking of putting one on. Here is one but maybe more options out there. https://www.aleksracing.com/strut-bar-mazda-cx-9-2016-2021-ur-tw2-3963

I think I went down the cowl plate bolt rabbit hole, my creaking noise wasn't that. Mazda Dealership agreed with my suspicion that it was the LCA Bushing doing its stick-slip thing. Getting a new Right Lower Control Arm installed tomorrow. Here is the text of the note I left for the...

This car was built 6 months after the tsb. Should have the updated head. Facebook post says dealer pulled this cracked head off a CX9 built Jan 2021. I spent a ton of time looking at the castings and comparing it to the TSB but it looks identical. Anybody know what the changes actually were...

So this may have been discussed on this forum before but I finally took a close look at this tsb related to the rattling clunking popping noise. It appears that it's the cowl bolts. Which basically looks to me like strut tower cross brace bolts, but they are calling them cowl bolts. Strut tower...

https://www.mazda6club.com/threads/comparison-of-skyactiv-2-5t-oil-filters.442244/ Not liking the latest Mazda 2.5T oil filter after reading this article. What are most people using? Definitely not Fram I hope. Wix 51365? Mobil 1. M1-108a ? I crossed that mobile filter into Wix and...

Walked into a Mazda service dept, and walked by the loading dock where the parts trucks leave parts. Saw what looked to me like some body panels, maybe a windshield, bunch of boxes that I would guess had Mazda parts in them (I hope) and guess what else I saw?? Dang-it you cheated and read the...

Going to the dealer to address a vibration issue tomorrow. I had the car up on ramps with the lower engine plastic splash shield off just trying to find something obvious. I went to check the tranny fluid from the top, pulled the air box, and pulled the 6mm (10mm socket) dip stick retaining...

If your shopping for tires, this one needs to be on your radar. It came up on tire rack a day or two ago, probably be at costco soon...

So I got a pronounced resonance noise at 65MPH or 2300 rpm. I thought it was my tires but when I select 5M at 65MPH the RPM jumps to 2800-ish and the noise goes away. And if I leave it in 5th, and drop my speed to get the engine back to that 2300RPM area, noise comes back. I work on airplanes...

Strange thangs going on with my windshield washer(s) I was in northern Minnesota and it got down to 15 and both my windshield and rear window washer quit squirting. I could hear the pump(s) working but no flow. 2016.5 w/3,000 miles, purchased in Portland so I figure the dealer had a weak...

Anybody have these? need some advice, see details in Tires Section (sorry Mods, but need to get as much info in the next 24hrs, under a deadline, please this thread for a few days if possible, thanks!!!)

Any one put on the Continental CrossContact LX20 ?? and if so how do you like them? I have to make a decision by Fri am to return my Firestone Destination LE2s They kinda hop at highway speeds. I have the Destinations on my Ranger and Honda Element and they are smooth as silk. The 4th...

My owners manual says 5w-30 is the recommended oil if I am out side usa or canada? (oh s***, yes another oil thread) england? norway? iceland? telling me the 0w-20 is just for the CAFE stats, and the engine will be just as happy (happier?) on a bit thicker oil. all comments welcome!! (how...

Ok, about 100 miles down the highway from getting my 4 wheels re-balanced (related? see other post in wheels and tires section if interested) and going about 70mph, I looked down and I had 4 yellow lights, 1 was flashing (cant remember which one) 3 solid. think it was the TPMS flashing, P.37...

So I purchased my 2016 CX5 Touring in March 2016 in Portland. Put 500 miles on it and then kissed it goodbuy in April when I went to Alaska for the summer. I put it in a storage unit in Portland (Vancouver wa actually) The unit had some venting, and I left all tires at 35psi. I never really...

pretty good video, few mistakes like he didnt run the engine to leak check it. Most people run the engine, then shut it off, then wait as long as you can THEN pull the dip stick. Some fill the filter full of oil before installing. I did as a young truck mechanic because those filters held a...
