suspension

First time posting here so grateful for any insight....there's a single click / tap sound from both the left or front wheels (not at the same time) when they are turned at low speeds - turning in and out of driveways, pulling out of side streets etc. The noises come and go though out the day...

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...

Just looking for a stock set of Mazdaspeed Protege springs to get the 3/4" drop and a little bit stiffer ride in my 1999 DX 1.6. MazdaSpeed Protege springs part #: 0000-8M-C13 Let me know what you got! Thanks.

Hello All, I'm quite new here. I just recently bought a 2002 Mazda Protege5. I was just wondering if anyone knows of what brands are good for Strut Assemblies. As the only major problem with the car is the struts. Coilovers are an option but I prefer OE at the moment. Anything helps.

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...

Hopefully these pics will show the amount of change after the springs were installed. Difference is subtle but very noticeable to me. Not that noticeable to most other people but that's okay. Overall the drop was just about what H&R claims...1.25" in front and about 1.75" in rear. We'll see how...

Time for new tires and I'm thinking of adding H&R lowering springs as well to drop the wheel well height a little. Is it as simple as having the springs installed or are there other suspension things that have to be done as well? Thx! Bill

Got my 2003.5 MSP and love it, but my BCR coils don't have adjustable caster and it pulls right. Short of machining a new top mounting plate, what are my options? BCRs are marketed to be modular but I asked some of the guys running the booth at GridLife South and they said adjustable...

I have a set of Tein S-Tech springs that I've had on my Protege5 since 2011 until a week ago for sale for $35. Just trying to get them gone so they don't sit around my garage taking up space and so I don't just trash them. I did cut 1 coil off back about a week after I initially installed...

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...

I'm new here. I got my CX-5 almost 2 weeks ago. It's a AWD GT model. I'm looking to lower it a bit. The wheel well is too revealing for my tastes. This was a problem on the old CX-5s too, and most CUVs in general. Does anyone know how many inches are ideal for lowering the 2nd gen CX-5, and if...

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...

Hello All, Recently scored a rear pair of MP3 blues from a pull-n-pay; unfortunately the fronts were toast. Trying to confirm the part #s for OEM MP3 fronts - I've found the number for the kit (0000-88-C04_-KT OR 0000-88-C04-KT) on ProtegeFAQ. Nobody seems to have that available any more, but...
