brakes

When we first got the 3rd gen 3, the rear brakes looked obviously like it was able to fit something larger from a different Mazda. The parts catalog showed that the brake shield is off a CX-5, so that was a clue. My hunch was right, but people on another popular Mazda3 forum discovered long...

I engaged my rear brake service mode while the calipers where off and now the pistons are fully extended. Anything I can do to fix this or is replacing something the only option? 2013-2016 CX-5

I first noticed a cyclic rubbing/dragging sound seemingly coming from one or the other of my front wheels while driving with the radio off one day. The rub seemed to be consistent with each revolution of a wheel (the frequency of the rubbing sound quickly increasing with the vehicle’s speed)...

Anybody beat that for the ORIGINAL brakes? Had rotors and pads replaced today for the first time. Just under 82k miles. 4mm in front, 2mm in the rear. Weren't making noise or anything. Pretty happy. (Damn..just detailed her too and that rim looks like hell ... Guess I didn't get them well...

I’m new here and am grateful to have found your forum and have spent several hours reading up on changing the rear brake pads. Had I read these tidbits of info instead of incorrectly following a couple of videos on youtube I wouldn’t have had this problem, but I do have some info that may...

Any suggestions on brake parts for a 2018 CX9 AWD? At 45K, my rear pads are shot and I'm planning to replace rotors + pads + hardware. I had a look at Brembo's OEM site but they only offer pads (no rotors). Thanks.

I have seen a few "brake upgrade" threads for the CX-5, but none of them were focused on fade, which is the primary concern in my case. When we load up the 5 for extended camping trips, stock brakes are not able to handle long or repeating down-hills. Fade is pronounced and the steering wheel...

My 2018 Mazda 3 5 door is having some rear brake problems and I was wondering if anyone else here had a similar issue. Since almost new (about 11 months ago), the rear brakes did not show even wear on the rotors. Not even a smaller stripe of worn rotor in the middle, just a bunch of lines -...

I picked myself up a 2000 Protege to turn into a daily. The rear brake lines are rusted through and leak. The fuel lines look crappy but arent leaking yet. I found a couple old threads of people having the same problem but does anyone have part numbers or links for replacement hard lines? I also...

so new car, and I'm having a problem difficult to diagnose. first i drive the car home to find the driver rear brake smoking, take the caliper off and notice the calipers, rotors, pads are brand new but installed without the hardware. cleaned/ lubed everything reassembled and made it 40 miles no...

I have a 2014 Mazda CX5 GT and I was told that I need all my brakes done, front worse then back. Also told that my shocks are leaking and they need to be replaced. I have 60,772 miles currently. Second thing is I see some people say rotors and some say disc. What type of brakes are on my car...

Is it normal to need 4 new rotors and pads on a CX-5 every 25,000 miles? Someone over on Reddit pointed me here. I read the thread about the EPB issues. I've called the dealer and they didn't think it applied and that it's just what happens if you drive in Chicago. My Mazda CX-5 has about...

Hi folks, Has anyone received good resolution to TSB 04-001-18-3418? This is regarding the rear brakes on a 2016 CX-5. I was able confirm that my VIN is affected. Here is the abstract to this issue: https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2016/MAZDA/CX-5/SUV/AWD#manufacturerCommunications Some...

I just got back from the 22,500 mile maintenance on my 2016.5 CX-5 GT. They reported front brakes at 50% and rear brakes at 60%. This refers to the wear on the pads, right? They told me when they drop to 40% or below, I should have them replaced. It seems a little "soon" to be at 50-60%...

Hi all, Im changing the front brakes and rotors on my 2016 Cx 5. Do I need to put the car into maintenance mode as when changing the rears? or Worry about twisting the pistons?. It is my first brake job so I appreciate all the help. Im having the rears done at dealer because Ive read the...

I have a 2008 Mazda3 Sport, and am currently in the process of bleeding the brakes according to this guide posted by flatlander937. I've followed the guide to a tee, with the sole exception of bleeding the rear-left/front-right circuit first, and then beginning with the rear-right as I bleed...

Hey Gang, What size Allen key should I use to turn the adjustment screw on the rear calipers? Feeling pretty defeated after I spent almost 2 hours replacing the pads and rotor on one wheel only to basically feel like I stripped the adjustment screw. I had undo everything and install the old...

Hey guys, I recently leased a 2018 CX-5 GT AWD and have about 75 miles on the odometer. The vehicle had run 4 miles at the time of delivery and I didn't go on a test drive of the particular car before taking delivery (forgot somehow).The brakes squeal under moderately hard braking. If I apply...

There is a "whine" that is most apparent at 32-45 mph.... the volume and the frequency of the "whine" it seems is ONLY proportional to actual road speed of the car (e.g., neutral, up or downshift does not change the sound).... I found out that by pulling the ABS/TCS fuse from the fuse box...
