Hey guys,
I currently have about 96,100 miles on my CX-5 and I just had some questions about replacing suspension components for the front/rears:
Parts that I am planning to replace:
Stabilizer Bar Bushings:
Front Suspension Items:
Rear Suspension Items:
I currently have about 96,100 miles on my CX-5 and I just had some questions about replacing suspension components for the front/rears:
- Which parts of the front suspension need to be replaced (dust boots/struts/coil spring etc.) if I were to replace the parts only?
- Has anyone purchased separate components from the Mazda site and successfully compressed the springs themselves using one of the aftermarket compressors (https://www.amazon.com/dp/ (commissions earned)) or am I better off with just the KYB ones from Rock Auto? I am aware of the cheaper ones that require both sides to be tightened down but I probably won't get them due to safety reasons.
- Should any of the suspension components be replaced due to rust (lower/upper control arms)? It seems that there are tears starting to form on the bushings of some of the suspension components so I figure it would be good to replace them. My ride is relatively bumpy on uneven surfaces and it doesn't seem so stable on the highway with winds.
- Any other tips and tricks for removing rusty bolts and suspension components?
- Am I better off just selling/trading in the car?
Parts that I am planning to replace:
