brakes

Just got back from the servicing my 2012 mazda 5 at the dealers. Apparently the rear brake pads are down to 4mm and need replacing. Does anyone know how long I can go before I need to change them? I'm at around 40.5K miles and am planning to drive to Florida in a couple of weeks (1600 miles)...

I have been a Hawk HPS user since my first pad replacement years ago after my original pads worn out. I like the harder grip of the HPS but they are not cheap. I priced a set online and seen them no lower than 55$ for a set of front HPS pads hb211f.606. So now I am unemployed and was just...

So yesterday, I had the P5 up on jackstands to rotate the tires (severe wear on the inside of the front tires, so I guess toe is out, but that's a different issue), and I noticed that the driver-side rear wheel still rotates freely when the parking brake lever is fully deployed. Common problems...

Van: 2006 Mazda5 Sport AT A few weeks ago I had the P0715 code come up and the van dropped down to 3rd gear until I stopped. After searching through the forums I found that the turbine speed sensor should be replaced to fix the issue. I replaced it this past weekend along with the rear...

Ok, so im fairly new here, but not that new. ive had my car just over a year now, and my rusty calipers are looking pretty fugly now. I upgrade my rotors last fall, and it just makes the calipers look worse by comparisin. i have a couple thoughts and would like to know if anyone has done the...

Looking for a right side JDM tail light. Some goof at work backed into me. Would conceder a set but checking to see if anyone has just the right side first.

So I purchased a set of four new slotted and drilled rotors from R1 concepts and a set of 4 new calipers that I plan to paint red this weekend. I have my mechanic friend installing it all next week some time. So my question is which way are the slots in the rotors supposed to face. It seems...

Hello all, The last few weeks I've noticed that sometimes when I am braking to slow down the car to make a turn, it seems and sounds like the engine is racing as if I had it in neutral and was putting my foot on the gas. This is a 2013 automatic touring in Drive. Has anyone else noticed...

Got a (hopefully) quick question for the gurus. Just bought a brand new 2012 CX-9 GT. Within 2 hours of purchase the wrench light came on, TCS off light illuminated, and cruise control stopped working. The car had diminished power and inability to accelerate. Dealer says a blown brake fuse...

So does anyone sell brake caliper covers for the mp3? I painted mine years ago and shortly after they looked horrible. I've found some for the mazda 6, would those work?

So Im thinking to change out my rotors and wheel bearings some time when my brake pads start to go bad again. I was going to ask you all what kind of rotors would be the best over oem. I mean i think its not really too necessary for slotted vent discs but im thinking just keep them flat plate...

My caliper is seizing and im looking for a working msp caliper asap! thanks

No question here, just a report. I replaced the brake pads on my 2002.5 Proteg5 the other day, and found to my surprise that one of the floating pins on the RR caliper was seized. For those not familiar with the way these floating calipers work, there is only one piston and it acts upon the...

looking for a few items... 1st thing i am looking for and kinda at the top of my list is the struts that hold the hatch open. I need both. FOUND 2nd thing i am looking for is the pessenger side interior pillar. Clips snapped off mine. FOUND and lastly i am looking for some cross...

looking for after market break pads and calipers anyone got anything?

Hey I know this might sound like a noob question but Im kind of confused on one thing. I swapped out my transmission fluid a few months ago, and I'm having my mechanic friend switch out the brake fluid on my car tomorrow. I saw on some threads that there is also clutch fluid? Someone also...

I haven't really found anything on this very specific, but very obvious, issue I've noticed in my 2011 Mazda2 Touring MT (~56K). I first noticed it a while ago, predominantly when coasting downhill, foot on the brake and clutch and I hit a bump. At that exact moment, it almost feels like the...

Just a quick question... Can I install and use the same rotors for front and rear? I have 4 wheel disc brakes. 5 lug nuts on each tire. I have a parts catalog that lists 2 different parts for front and rear rotors on 4 wheel disk variants like my car, however Rockauto.com is confusing me a bit...
