suspension

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...

Looking for a setup for my sedan. Need all the extra brackets that hold the cruise controller.

Hi everyone, I just bought a 2003 Protege5 on CL. I'm embarrassed to admit I didn't do a whole lot of checking before I bought -- I drove it, and looked around (in the dark) to make sure, like, the headlights worked. I liked that it was manual, that it had a sunroof, and that it was a...

I was thinking about putting these springs on my P5 but I haven't decided yet. This is the Eibach Pro-kit designed for the MP3. They're brand new and never used. They were purchased and put away and then the original buyer died before he could put them on his car. SOLD

Hi! I'm new to this forum and was wondering if you guys can help me out. So, I'm still contemplating if I should continue on installing some H&R lowering springs on my 2012 mazda 5 with the part number HR-52685 . The part description says, " Approx. Front Lowering: 1.4" and Approx. Rear...

Thanks very much in advance for any suggestions anyone might have! This is a bit long, so, Much, Much appreciated! Here's the situation: 2014 CX-5 Sport (6sp/FWD). Have had it for about a year. Love it! (Would love it more if I could have the 2.5L with the 6sp, but whatever.) I never did a lot...

I received advice from various forums on upgrading my Mazda5 stock suspension so post project I have been meaning to return the favor and publish our experience. The stock suspension was garbage and a dangerously bouncy ride. We replaced it last year with Koni with good success. We also...

I have a 03 Mazda Pro5. Having some suspension problems in the rear. I recently changed out the shocks, so I don't think its the shocks. I've been getting a really loud knocking sound every time I go over a bump. It got louder really quick, but I've still been able to drive around without a...

Hey everyone !, I've begun this project recently to personalise my mazda 2 2013 and I finally decided to buy coilovers Bc racing which are made in my country, canada. I'm suppose to install them 1 august ! I got a lot of project ideas for the little M2 and i'm literally receiving parts &...

Can you people share your knowledge what coilovers form other cars can fit in Protege5. Coilovers can be little modified to fit.

Hello there. I am a somewhat new owner of a 2008 mazda cx-7. From what I've seen online, I should've done more research and probably got a different vehicle. What is done is already done, lol. I can't find anything else about this on the internet and I hope that the people on the forum can help...

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...

Anyone have any Protege5 Lowering Springs that are willing to sell, i want to buy lowering spring but not trying to spend so much.. Thanks

How similar are the suspensions between the Mazda3 and Mazda5? From what I understand, the springs on the 5 are softer and designed for more body roll than the 3 so that you don't do anything crazy with a vehicle with a higher CG (too late...), as well as a more family-freindly ride. Although...

So i was driving home today, and happened to be driving over some pretty bad roads, lots of potholes and pretty major cracks. Was driving slowly, but pretty normally for the conditions and out of no where the rear passenger suspension starts giving off a huge Clunk and Bang noise when going...
