I’m working on a 2019+ Mazda3 front strut and I’m stuck getting the strut tube out of the steering knuckle. I bought a knuckle spreader and set it right in the slot where the clamp opens. It does spread a little, but not enough for the strut to slide up and out. I’ve been rocking the strut left...

So call me crazy, but I am just not loving the 18” rims and Toyo Proxies that came on my ’23 3 Hatch Premium. I’m supposed to like them and aesthetically I do, but… in practice I loathe them. Aside from the fact that I’ve never owned a car with low profile tires (road feel, noise), my biggest...

Hey everyone, this is my first post here and I’m looking for some guidance. I need to replace the shocks and struts on my 2019 Mazda3, 4th gen FWD hatch with the 2.5L non-turbo, front and rear. My garage floor has a slight incline and I’m wondering if I can safely jack the car on the left side...

225/40/18 Tires on a 2004 Mazda3 hatchback? Will these work? How will the ride be? Any idea? Thanks! 225/40/18

Hello. I have a 2018 Mazda 3. 2 days ago, the interior lights started staying on. I've flipped the on/off/door switch to every combination. I've rechecked every door and trunk. The lights will only turn off if the car is off and locked. They are on when driving which kind of sucks at night. Any...

While driving, I hear plastic vibrations coming from the passenger-side air vent. When I even lightly touch the vent, the sound stops. Does anyone have an idea what to do about this?

I need some input before my head explodes. Situation: Bought my 3 in December. It is the fourth 3 I've had in the past 12 years. Until three years ago I lived in Upstate New York. I now live in Central Florida. We get some pretty chilly mornings here. 35 - 40 degrees has not been uncommon...
