suspension

Hello guys, I have a pair of front 1.5" strut spacers installed and a pair of 1.5" rear spring spacers installed. However because of this set up, the rear shock absorber got stretched longer by 1.5" and as a result, it has a much shorter downward travel and a longer upward travel. The problem...

Hey guys, been a lurker here for while and decided it was time to finally do some posting. My fiance has a 2008 CX-9 Sport and its been a great vehicle since she got it. The issue I'm having is I live in MN and the salty winters are pretty hard on vehicles here. I just got tires put on and...

Has anyone ever lifted their gen 2 mazda CX-5? If so, what did you use to lift (spacers, the whole suspension, etc..)? How did you deal with the alignment (camber and toe)?

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...

So, Ive seen a lot of chatter about the new 2.5T engine and how nice the added power makes the car. I do feel like the base engine lags before you actually get a slight power jolt. I however havent seem much talk about the new 2019 G-vectoring system upgrade. Any thoughts or inputs about the new...

I found a splatter of grease on my driver side wheel, when I took it off to see where it was coming from I came to find out it was from what looks to be a ball joint on the tie rod. I been trying to see if I could just replace the ball joint itself or if I will have to buy the entire tie rod...

SOLD I am selling a complete set of practically brand new Tokico Illumina struts (BB2223-2226) and Eibach Pro Kit lowering springs (5541.140) for a Protege5. The struts and springs are technically used, however, they have less than 200 miles on them! I was unfortunately rear ended less than a...

Hi all, please forgive me if this has been answered in previous discussions. I have only recently bought a 2014 CX5 (right hand drive) and have noticed a metallic clang/rattle in the front passenger side suspension area (I believe). The rattle mainly occurs turning left or right and over uneven...

I am redoing the suspension in the rear of my P5 and need to replace the rear lateral links. Are all 4 identical to each other? On Rockauto there are several different brands and i am not sure what parts to order. I know there is a difference with the in the length if you have drum brakes which...

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...

Hi guys ! I am pretty new to these forums and this is my first post so I am sorry if I am posting in the wrong section. So i got a good 3000km to drive next thursday but I just last minute noticed that my rear left strut mount is fissured / cracked right down the middle, meaning there is a...

I have a 2008 Mazda 5. I bought it used from a ghetto dealer in Austin, TX. I test drove it and found that it had "bumpy" tires and wanted to wander all over the road. It did have a low tire light on at the time. The ghetto dealer did not have a compressor. It had been a long day and I knew that...

Hi All, I am the new proud owner of a barn find 1972 Mazda Estate Wagon with only 15K on it. I am absolutely in love with this car and I look forward to getting it up and going again. However, I am having trouble finding replacement parts and much info on the vehicle (especially suspension). Do...

Hey everyone, Im needing to fix my car before I head out back to college. Two issues; one engine, one suspension. If you guys can figure it out youre amazing. Engine: burning oil on cold startup. I replaced valve guide seals along with spark plugs and valve cover gasket, the smoke was then not...

Anyone have any good condition stock racing beat springs for an MSP they'd be willing to sell?

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...
