What have you done to your P5 today?

[CheeseHelmet]

You mean on the endlink? I installed a Progress bar and AWR adj endlinks a couple of weeks ago. The brackets and bushings on the bar are fine and just went back out and sprayed some WD-40 on the lower end of the end link while my buddy pushed down on the car and the squeak is gone. Going to have to tighten them up and throw some grease on them.

Is this on the front or the rear? I had this issue on the front, here's a thread I started with pics: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/show...sn-t-center-could-that-cause-a-clunking-noise

Got out of the walmart parking lot and seen this when I went to the car. lol

Polished the headlights with the PlastiX, still working on center console gauge panel. =)


EDIT. Also Seafoamed the car, found out that my gasket that goes from the header to the J is blown out. =( Its hard to find those....

This is the rear and now I understand what you meant....for a second I was scratching my head trying to figure out what you were saying. lol

OHHHH. Sorry, I'll just shut up now

 

[CTt3P5]

No need for that...now I know how to fix a clunk in the front.

Any idea's?

 

[THE Phen]

Hmm... I think I'd have to hear it in person. My guess is that it's in the bottom end.

 

[TWISFM]

...rod knock or loose vtcs screw

 

[Josue6WGN]

Sometimes it DOES sound like something's loose and rattling/bouncing around in there...

 

[95blkprobe]

your best bet would be to drop the oil pan and that will tell the story.

 

[shane02pro5]

Sounds very much like a very bent rod if something was bouncing around it wouldn't be a consistant and steady sound. Get a mechanics stethescope to see exactly where it's coming from and not that it matters but you could get a compression tester for $20 too at the auto parts. Either way that motor needs to come apart

 

[Josue6WGN]

I was already planning on replacement. I'd still kind of like to know what's the deal with this one though, just so the mystery was solved. haha

Converted to a Florida plate, now what to do with an empty front plate holder??

When the insurance agent asked if the car has been modified what did you answer?

*cough*just-a-big-ass-turbo*cough*

 

[95blkprobe]

they didnt ask, idk what you are talking about big ass turbo? its just a little harmless station wagon

Awesome

When I was getting insurance for my car that was one of the first questions they asked (scratch)

 

[roy obanion]

Throw it away?
