Got a few old parts kicking around from my long-sold 2003 Protege5 that I never installed. A power steering pump bought online from a wrecking site and an evaporation canister (and line/filter?) that I picked up somewhere. Getting rid of everything for free, you just pay shipping or pick-up (I'm...

Hi everyone--couple of questions related to rear sway bars here: My rear sway bar broke over the weekend. As I am not sure how long I'll be keeping my 2003 Protege5 (probably another year?) I am looking for the easiest/cheapest replacement option. I've been looking for a used stock rear bar...

I'm looking to pick up a used rear sway bar / stabilizer bar to replace the stock one on my 2003 protege5. Would prefer stock as I've already purchased the replacement stock-length links to go with it. Thanks! Tom D Los Angeles

I'm going to do an ATF swap on my 2003 protege5 today and bought a new filter to swap that out as well. What I'm not sure of is how much to torque the transmission pan bolts after I reattach the pan. Anyone ever changed the filter and done this? I've looked through the protege manual, but...
