Mazdaspeed Dealers that can flash in CT

So slug, when you go over small bumps it sounds like you have some stuff in your trunk banging around right?

 

[slug420]

thats what the clunk sounds like yes, but when you get it fixed its all better, but mine still soudns like that, cuz i do really have pieces of crap banging around my trunk

 

[II-Savy]

Slug - What exactly did they do to the rear, I've been reading and some get new links, some new ends, and a couple got whole new assemblies (I can't spell).

AND

The fix is not permenant yet correct?

 

[slug420]

i dunno, last time they gave me brand new sway bar and endlinks

this time i didnt ask or pay attentoin when they told me, it might be on my slip tho.

whatever it is its not a permanent fix yet

 

[II-Savy]

OK... cool thanks. One more thing.

I only have 1700 on my car...how bad can it be?

I think I've heard it several times. Are the cars coming off the assembly line with clunk?

Do you talk to Linda when you set the appointments?

 

[slug420]

yea, i work with linda and vic.

Im pretty sure they know me by name now

Cars dont come off the assembly line with the clunk, as its the result of the bushings wearing out. It seems that when driving over bumps or potholes or whatever in colder weather the bushings break down quicker so you may get a lot of miles but not experience the clunk until the winter.

lots of southern owners have never had it

I got mine at like 5k miles or so i believe, had it replaces at 7k, then it was back after only a couple thousand more and i have been tolerating it for like 10k miles since i knew there was no permanent fix yet

 

[II-Savy]

So I'm not going there right away, cause it can't be that bad...every time I hear anything back there I'm thinking it's the clunk. I'll wait till after winter or during winter and see if it gets worse.

 

[servoeyes]

It will.

I didn't think mine was that bad at first either. It does grate on you after a while...apparently MNAO has got a permanent fix coming in the next couple weeks. We'll see about that...my car's going in for the flash, coolant leak, and clunk tomorrow. We'll see how good Modern's service department is.

 

[II-Savy]

yea i smell coolent when I stop....I can't find a leak though...I need to look better..

 

[scapamouche]

I had a slow coolant leak at the lower radiator drain plug: the gasket was messed up. You might try checking there...

 

[servoeyes]

Ok...modern motors rules. Here's what they did:

Fixed flash and tested...said power difference is noticable
Replaced rotors due to warpage (all I said was that it felt like they were warped...)
Fixed Coolant Leak as best as they could (replaced hose per Mazda recommendations)
Replaced Bushings on rear swaybar (ordered yesterday because they did not have)

4 things, done beyond my expectations. And tonight we'll see how she moves...hopefully not like the U2 song (mysterious ways for those who think the U2 is only a plane)

 

[slug420]

damn, i need my rotors replaced too!

i didnt wanna ask at the dealership since i have 20k ont he car i thought for sure htey would say its normal wear

With about 12k on my car they resurfaced mine...it's worth a shot to ask...worst they can say is "no".
