struts

Hello, Im having a clunking sound coming from my right rear suspension and Im almost 99.9% sure that it is the strut mount that is to blame. I have a few questions because the car is so rusted. 1. How exactly can I check to see if it is strut mount that is at fault. 2. If I remove the strut...

Hey everyone, Ive got an 07 mazda 3s, and almost at 200k. I have this noise that I believe to either be a bad strut in the front right or motor mount... the mounts are not broken but the rubber lining? I guess? Is starting to crack. I have a lot of engine noise in the right side of the cabin...

I installed Tein springs and Tokico struts in 2011; been riding on them ever since. I've never been fully impressed with the Tokico's. I'm now going to take the time to replace them. Anyone have any suggestions? I started to purchase the KYP gr2's but thought I'd reach out to the community...

I am needed to replace all my suspension components very badly as everything is shaking, popping, and rattling from all 4 corners of the vehicle. I am hoping to avoid the hassle of using spring compressors and am looking at Monroe quickstruts for the P5. Has anybody had any issues with these...

Hello there, Just brought home a Mazda 5 (2006) - 96k miles. Needs the obvious - rear struts. I did some research here and elsewhere and it seems one of the biggest issues is that this Mazda 5 is probably the biggest car in the lot, sharing compatible suspension parts with other Mazda, Ford...

[/ATTACH]I have a set of mazdaspeed protg/also fit the P5 and lower it slightly, I bought them for my P5 a couple of years ago from a member on here and never got around to installing them. My car is no going to my sister and she does not want it any lower so they are up for sale. They are a...

2010, 85K miles, with rear suspension clunk. Replaced the rear sway bar bushings, no significant difference. Pulled the wheels to look at struts. This one (driver rear) looks like it's leaking -- you can see where I wiped the fluid with my finger. Does this look blown to you? Thanks in...

I've been following several threads on here, there was an awesome write up about sway bar replacement and strut replacement that I'm excited to follow. My question is more about options. I've replaced complete strut assemblies on other vehicles because it's easy as hell, 6 bolts and you're...

Anybody recommend a good source if there are no owners with the parts to sell? I'm asking around, but with little luck. If need be, I'll consider buying them new.

I own a 2003 Mazda Protege ES. Due to clunking noises in the rear, I replaced both rear struts (Gabriel brand) and strut mounts (Duralast). It got rid of a lot of the clunking but there was still a little. However, I went on without worrying because I don't want to throw more money than I...

I have recently purchased a protege5 and the suspension has seen better days but i purchased some kyb gr2 struts and i was wondering if the sway bar mounting tab had to be reinforced for mazdaspeed front and rear sway bars if so how. I know the gr2s arent the best but they will probably get me...

Hey everyone I finally picked up some megan racing springs and now in looking for some struts. Any strut that can handle the Megan's good with no problem ill be interested in. I do not want the racked look so please no stock msp struts as I've heard the rear end sits up higher. Let me know I...

Hey everyone I'm looking for a new or used set of coilovers or spring setup. I have a 99 protege lx so let me know if anyone knows of some for sale. Even just lowering springs on stock struts would be fine I'm just looking for a good drop for my DD. let me know thanks.

SOLD I have a set of original struts that I took off my car about 2 years ago and have been sitting in my garage. They still compress and rebound fine and have no leaks, I only replaced them because I came across the adjustable Illumina strut/spring kit for $400 and decided it was a sign to...

Hey everyone! First post/thread here. I need to replace my rear struts on my 2008 Mazda3 Hatchback sport. My brother and his car club guys (FocalJet/Fiesta Faction) are going to be helping me do the physically replacement, however, I would love input/recommendations from you on what struts I...

Hey everyone, This is my first post on the forums, and I could use a little help with the precise parts to get to replace my suspension. As of now, my '02 P5 has clunks in the front end, and the handling is crap compared to what it was a few years ago. On sharp corners, the front end bounces...

So I got a set of tokico blues come in today and took a look at them. I noticed that there are two shorter ones and two longer ones. None of them were designated to any sides. So im guessing probably the long ones go up front and the short ones go in the back? Or the other way around?

So I have a progress anti roll bar coming in and wanted to switch out all four endlinks too. Anyways my question is when I looked on RockAuto Parts they had endlinks for the rear that were different lengths. It said w/ race suspension length 8.5" mevotech or they had a deeza pair that were for...

So I have a set of 4 tokico blues coming in the mail tomorrow and was currently looking up about sway bars for the protege5. I see that ya'll have posted that the awr are really good. Anyways my question is whats the difference between sway bar and sway bar links. Like is their a difference...

Hey guys so i decided that im going to go ahead and switch out my suspension a bit since its been getting very squeaky in the mornings and I got a new job. Anyways I decided to go ahead and get the KYB GR-2 strut replacements on all four. But I also am thinking of switching out my springs as...
