What have you done to your P5 today?
- Thread starter Tg5
- Start date
Repainted calipers (black) and installed Whiteline rear swaybar lateral locks on my MSP RSB since the rubber ones broke off and the bar was sliding around. http://www.motoiq.com/magazine_arti...hiteline-flatout--sway-bar-lateral-locks.aspx

Got a CEL for P0455 (big-ass EVAP leak/blockage) on the way home from school. I hope it's just a loose gas cap...

Hunted down that popping sound I've been having. I started by taking apart the rear calipers and discovered that one of the bottom slide pins was loose (the one you tighten with an allen key). You'd think they'd tighten that at the factory on brand new calipers... Anyway, that didn't fix it but it did make my handbrake start working a lot better!
Then I removed the sway bar and endlinks, everything was soooo rusty and because of that I suspect I'll have to re-tap the captive nuts that hold the sway bar bushings (the bolts' threads are wrecked but at least they come out). Good news is that the sway bar seems to have been the culprit, I drove about 20KM and didn't hear any popping.
Now my car handles like a boat
So I'm going to pick up some new endlinks, sway bar bushings and new hardware to replace the nuts and bolts I removed. I'll get the bushings from Mazda, but what do you guys think about Beck/Arnley endlinks? Should I get something fancier?
