struts

Hey everyone, I have been hearing loud popping noises and rattles when hitting almost any size bump in my '01 protege. I had a feeling it had to do with the left rear strut or its top mount. When i checked, I noticed the strut has sort of exploded out and extended a couple of inches, and it...

I recently changed all four struts and every part of my suspension on the front end. My ride quality is horrible and acting like the struts are bad but the symptoms are puzzling. When you try to bounce the vehicle to test the struts there is no bounce....when I push down, it stays down. I can...

So lately when I take my car over a bump especially when its cold it would let out like a creeky noise i guess. So my mechanic friend just told me yesterday that he would sway out my struts for me, so I started looking into struts on ebay and stuff and on the forum. But I was wondering if...

I have an 02 Protege ES. I need a new strut. But I also want to lower it but of course can't afford a nice kit. So I just want to buy some lowering springs and replace strut/struts with stock. I was told if I get the springs then I have to get "shorter" struts. Is this true? Or can I use stock...

Hey guys, I'm a bit new to the forum but I've had my Protege 5 for a little more than a year now. I bought it lowered, and it was cool a year ago. But now its just breaking my back. The ride is terrible. I've been looking at it and I want to raise it back up. It seems to have some aftermarket...

OK so i bought my P5 about 2 months ago and I noticed this issue. I'm just getting around to figuring out what's wrong. at first look it seems like my drivers side is really low. the distance between the tire and fender on the drivers side is about 1" and almost 3.5' on the passenger side. so...

I know that there aren't any companies out there that produce/manufacture Camber/Caster plates for for & rear applications for 99-03 Mazda Protege's. AWR has produced quality ones in the past, and if enough members can show interest in them, they'll make some batches. We're(KHPRO5) looking to...

My front struts were bad according to dealership. I picked up some new struts, and wanted to install them myself, the shop said it was easy if i had a "strut pressurizer". Now im no auto mechanic but i have never heard of this? I feel this was a lie to get me to have them install them for...

Alright. I have installed H&R Springs with Tokico Blues shock/struts months ago. I'm running 205/40/17, wheels. It now has had an opposite rake (high in front, low in back), and the rear shocks/struts make loud cabin noises as if the piston bottoms out in the tube of the shock. They've been...

Hello, i have a problem with my mazda 3's 2008 i touring suspension: It all started with a $%&/#"$ bump (both tires) that i passed at about 40 mph. When i passed the bump, i clearly heard a loud "clank" in the front of my car (not comming only from the tire but from the entire frontal side of...

Hey all, I need to fix my P5's suspension & at the same time, give it a little better ride & stance. I've searched a bunch, but have so far only come across sets that just sold as of a few weeks ago. Till finally, I stumbled upon 3/4 of a set, all four springs & rear struts. I know its a bit...

Anyone know where I can find good instructions for replacing struts on a 2006 Mazda3 5-door? I've replaced struts before, but only on early '90s BMWs -- never on a FWD car. I'm just replacing the OEM struts on my wife's daily driver. I'll probably just be using stock struts ordered from some...
