brakes

Hi, These are stock Front Brakes in great shape. Worked perfect. I just upgraded to the Mazda Speed 12.6 rotors and want to sell these. Make an offer plus what ever shipping and they are yours. Thanks, Paul

2016 CX-9 having problems buying Aftermarket brakes. "rear set"!!! I have 2016 CX-9 33k miles, I got this car new for my bday my first car under my name :-) and I love it and everyone that sees it loves it! I live in NYC and drive a lot to say the least. I have always put aftermarket brakes on...

I have a MY2015, built 3/14. It is a touring model but has AFS, sunroof, etc. In the options, I see the city brake on/off. If I turn it off, a light comes on indicating that it is off. I do have the cluster around the rear view mirror. Last snow it also warned that the brake wouldn't work u...

Hi, Sold my P5 with 205,000! Now for the car I really wanted. 2005 M3, SP23, auto trans - stock everything. Front brakes need replacing: Is there a Big Brake Mod? Clink in the trans changing from park to drive: Motor Mounts? Anything I really need to consider on upgrading? I'm going to...

First time in 27 months since owning CX-5, I am worried and had more scary moments in 20 minutes than in entire >2 years of driving this car. It snowed here in NJ, and I decided to do a short drive to pick some grocery. After each of my stops when I restarted the car, the brakes didn't engage on...

Hello fellow proud mazda owners! I was planning to replace my brake pads today. However, I just spent the last 4 hours trying to pry open the passenger side read caliper with no success. I drive a Protege ES 03. The rear calipers only have one sliding pin, the other "pin" actually acts like a...

Hi guys, So in my 48k service on my 2016 CX-5, the dealer gave me the report highlighting that I should change my rear discs and pads. According to his report, I had only 3mm left on my rear pads. He quoted 470 CAD so I decided to wait a little bit and get a second opinion. I have 53k now and...

Hi all, I own a 2007 Mazda 3 GT and recently I notice that when I hit the brakes my steering wheel starts to shake. Could this be because my rotors are warped? If they are warped should I have them machined or buy new rotors? Any info will be greatly appreciated. :(

Hopefully someone knows or know how to find the torque specs for the cx-5 (2016) caliper and bracket front and rear. The dealer gave me 23-28 ft lbs for caliper and 68-81 ft lbs for the bracket. Just wanted someone to confirm this as I'm not sure if this is correct and for both front and rear...

Hi all, please forgive me if this has been answered in previous discussions. I have only recently bought a 2014 CX5 (right hand drive) and have noticed a metallic clang/rattle in the front passenger side suspension area (I believe). The rattle mainly occurs turning left or right and over uneven...

Hi! I drive a 2008 Mazda 3 and this morning on my way to work I had to make a sudden stop and when I did my brakes made a very loud grinding noise. This noise than continued as I made it the rest of the way to work. I'm planning to bring it in when I get off work, but I just want to make sure...

Hello Members My 2016 cx5 hardly done 10k, I recently noticed the back calipers looks like rusted. The front ones shows as good as new. At times when i reverse the car in the morning i hear a faint noise form the back tyres. Here in Toronto though they use salt in winter last winter was very...

So I set out to replace the front Rotors and Pads in my 2012 Mazda 5. While I am no professional mechanic I have done my share of work on cars. I used to Auto X and Road race a 1985 Pontiac Fiero and had replaced pads and rotors, sway bars, eurothane suspension bushings, Koni's and lowered...

A friend has a 2006 mazda 5. He was driving and hit a dip in the road. Now the brake pedal is very mushy. The pedal sinks almost like a bad master cylinder. But still stops just over halfway down. He says he now hears a hissing sound when pressing the brakes. I think that is just the vacuum for...

I'm trying to decide which mechanic to trust about this sound I'm hearing in my 2013 Mazda5. One says wheel bearing, one says brakes. Are either of them right!? CLUES: The sound seems to be associated with pressing on the brakes, but it doesn't always happen. I do not feel any shimmy in the...

Hi. I have a 2002 Protege5 (with no ABS system), and I'm on my third rear, left brake caliper. They keep seizing up (very hot after I stop driving), and I had thought it was bad remanufactured calipers, or problems with the auto-tensioning system. Anyway, this one is new (just driven on...

We just returned from a ~1000 miles trip (500 miles each way). I can tell you it was the most comfortable drive ever with our CX-9 GT. I love it very much so far! However, I noticed that the vehicle produced hissing noise when I applied the brake at the 60+mph after driving little over 100...

I've had an annoying braking issue on my 2012 Mazda 5 since Day 1. Sometimes when I release the brakes, I hear a distinct metallic "clunk" sound coming from near the bottom of the pedal. When the car was within warranty I had the dealership inspect it, but they couldn't figure out the root...

Hi everyone, if you have experienced a problem with the Forward Obstruction Warning (FOW) system or the cruise control associated with it, please file a complaint with NHTSA. it takes less than 5 minutes. My 2014 mazda 6 applied the brakes while I was on the highway then the "inspection needed"...

Working on rear brakes today. Replaced passenger side rotor and pads with a bit of a fight with caliper pins and carrier bolts. Found inserting pads surprisingly difficult BTW, any ideas why? Was able to retract caliper piston by hand just by using an open ended spanner (19mm) in the notches...
