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...

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...

There is a pulsing in the brake pedal when pressing. Pads were just replaced, but now I am thinking the rotors might be warped. I have posted a short video of it. Sorry the bandwidth of my NAS isn't great...

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...

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

Hello fellow Mazda friends! I want to do a bugger brake upgrade and have seen a few threads talking about mazda6 rotors and calipers working. Is this true and if it is what do I need from the mz6 to have functional brakes on my Protege5? Side note: I am running 16 rota wheels, Fitment issues...

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...
