brakes

One day, out of the blue, my dash board ((Brake)) warning light came on. No ABS light. I went and got my brake pads(professionally) changed and back rotors. I got my front rotors turned. E-brake is not up. Brake fluid is full. Is there anything else that could be the problem? Is there a way to...

My 2006 MazdaSpeed6 is in need of some new brakes, and I was wondering what the concensus is for the best bang for the buck. I am not interested in doing a whole Brembo Big Brake kit for $1500 +, but I was thinking about new brake pads and possibly rotors. My first choice in Brake pads would...

I wasted a whole day running around trying to find a compression tool to retract the rear caliper pistons on a friends 2006 Mazda3. What a PITA, trying to find one with pins on 3/4" center. Finally managed to persuade a Canadian Tire store to loan us a kit to get the job done. Afterward, I...

I have a 2009 cx-9 AWD touring. When using light brake pedal there is an on/off/on/off scraping sound coming from the front passenger side wheel area. It is not a constant scaping, it appears to happen once per rotation of some part(on/off/on/off), and sometimes does not happen at all. The...

Hi, guys, I am a newbie here and I am looking for some help on my 2003 P5. I appreciate your attention and help in advance. I was replacing the brake pad on the right rear wheel and found out some problem: 1. the inner side pad was totally gone but the outer side is almost untouched; 2. rotor...

I just spent the better part of a day (start to finish) doing a brake pad and rotor replacement on my 2006 Mazda5 sport. It had 54,252 miles on it. The front rotors were badly warped (another issue that I will not get into here). They had been turned once, and were okay for awhile after that...

I just got back from a 1,000 mi or so road trip and now the front drivers side is grinding/vibrating when coasting at any speed. It doesn't happen when I accelerate or brake. It doesn't feel like a brake issue... help!!

Last summer I needed to replace all four rotors and pads and, finding myself in the US one weekend, had the job quoted and completed. Trouble is the mechanic could sling a wrench but not count to four - he only replaced the fronts. Still that fixed all the issues and out of laziness I dropped...

Since winter, when I drive for a couple of miles, the car starts to feel like my e-brake is on, during winter I was okay with it because I thought it was just built up salt, but now it still does the same and it feels weird and it sucks on the gas mileage too, anybody who had the same problem...

If any of you guys upgraded pads or rotors and still have functional parts that you are willing to get rid of, please let me know. I need both front and rear sets. Thanks! UPDATE! I've got all I need, thanks everyone!

Well, had been putting this off (saving money) for a long time and FINALLY had the work done this week. Overall I'm very happy with the results . . . they look great, but I haven't really had a chance to put them to the test quite yet. Without the 15 mm spacers (as you can see from the...

Purchased the rear spindles, rotors, calipers, e-brake cables, brake lines, front spindles, rotors, calipers and rear sway bar from a member on another forum. The parts came off a 1995 Protege ES and will be going on my 1998 Protege LX sometime this spring or early summer after I clean them up a...

As the title states. Let me know if you've got some MZ6 brake parts laying around. Looking for front & rear rotors, calipers, pads. Interested in MS6 brakes, also. Will the MS6 rotor/caliper clear a 16" wheel?

Hi everyone, Been looking around and researching for almost a month now and am wondering if anyone around here has done, or know anyone who has converted their rear drum brakes to disc brakes. Found a few kits, but am a student and don't have too much cash to drop on it. I have a few wrecking...

Folks, I have Mazda Protege DX 2003 w/o ABS and I want to install it. Should I do anything with Wiring or it just plug and play? If anyone do it please give me advise how to do it. As far as I understand i need following: Sensor, Front ABS R B25D-43-70XG L B25D-43-73XG Sensor, Rear...

my wife's '06 5 Touring has this nasty habit of squealing as she backs out of the driveway every morning. she utterly HATES it and I must say, it's quite annoying. it's done it since day one of having it (purchased in Feb of this year & it only has 50K on it). it only happens in reverse after...

Always nice to see Mazdas featured in TV commercials. Very cool to see Mazdas featured in the same commercial as Chip Foose! <object height="385" width="640">(2thumbs) <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ryt-7PoY5I0&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"...
