    CX-5 Rear Shock Mount Compatibility?

    Any update on if gen 2 struts & shocks fit gen1? I'm in the same boat - 2016.5CX5. Bilstein B6 is a rare find. I'm also finding the Gen2 B6 for sale (22-291240,22-291257) but not for the 2016 gen1....

    Show me your CX-5 wheels

    Just swapped back my winter blizzaks set for the contis truecontact. I did weigh all my wheels this week. Smaller rims = lighter weight. Also, Blizzaks tires are much heavier than A/S contis, a whopping 4.7lbs per tire at 225/65/17. There might be some rim weight difference though, since contis...

    If seeking 17" gen 2 wheels...

    FB Marketplace, physical scrapyards or eBay from scrapyards like below. They'd have reasonable prices, low shipment costs (~$15 per wheel), quality inspection & grade, and a 30-day return policy if bent/cracked/leaking air. https://www.ebay.com/usr/veldmansauto...

    2016 CX5 GT - downsizing from the OEM 19" to 17". The twist - Hyundai Santa Fe wheels & tires. FB Marketplace is a great place to search for an extra set of OEM wheels - that's what I did for winter sets of three of our cars. And, since all our Mazdas are GTs with 19", I got 17" (CX5s) and 16"...

    2019 CX-5 Signature, Seat discomfort?

    Same here. We just purchased a 2021 CX5 GT; traded in a 2013 CX5 GT. Still have a 2016 CX5 GT, 2014 Mazda 6 GT; To my surprise, these 2021 CX 5 seats are too narrow on the bolstering and are too stiff on the sides. Both for myself (6'2 tall, size 32 waist) and for my mom and my dad (mom is...

    CX-5 Rear Shock Mount Compatibility?

    Could you please specify which parts did you install? And by Gen 2 were you referring to 2017+ or 2015+? When I drove my mom's 2016.5 GT I thought here suspension setup is nicer -- softer, and quieter than my 2013GT. Now, here is where I am confused -- This rear shock absorber says that fits...

    FOW and MRCC problem

    Same problem here. 2014 Mazda 6 GT. Bought it used in 2019 November, 90k miles. In December the FOW/MRCC lights began popping up once in a while. In January 2020 the light were on, but something else went nuts (I thought tranny), so I brought it to the dealership. Mazda dealership in Champaign...

    302hp RAV4

    Mazda is not getting something about the US market and the competition... 1) why mazda is avoiding electric drives while having under 30mpg combined? and all other automakers use them nicely? 2) why introduce another subcompact SUV to the US? what about something larger than CX9? 3) why AWD on...

    CX-5 Accessory must haves?

    How about some keyfob covers? I got mine so I can tell which keyfob is for which car - but they also protect keys from scratches and drop impact. https://photos.app.goo.gl/ob24BosVX6k39W8MA

    Dash Cam Adhesive Pads Continually Failing--What's Worked for Yours?

    I gave up on 3m and purchased a suction adapter mount. The adhesive will fall off sooner or later. And you might want to upgrade the camera, or sell the car, or use the cam in a trip on a rental. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N07VKIK/?tag=m20b7-20
