sway bar

Did anyone here replace the stock rear sway bar (not links) with a beefy one like Corksport or Progressive? Does it help noticeably with side to side sway? KE model 2016 AWD 2.5L. Also, is there any guide? 1 shop quoted me 7 hrs. Another 4.5. Another 2.5. Very confused.

Recently got the front axle links replaced consequent to a diagnosed clunking sound. Sound is now gone. 3 weeks driving however distinctly feel the car got worse. Every bump, potholes - everything I am feeling now, while driving. Even the car is rolling more I think. To eliminate few things -...

I've seen a few threads about sway bars and front struts. The body roll in my 2015 CX-5 has gotten the best of me and I'd like to flatten it out. (I like hitting the gas in corners:) Anyway, if I have someone install a rear sway bar and a front upper strut bar, do you think that will...

I installed a Cork Sport rear sway bar on my 2015 Mazda 3 and it made a big difference. I want to do the same on my 2016 CX-9 Sig. But I can't seem to find anyone who sells a thicker rear sway bar for the new CX-9. Anyone know if there is one available? Would also like to add a front shock tower...

Hi all, Hoping someone has some advice for me and wondering if anyone else has had similar issues with their CX-5. This is sort of a long story, so bear with me. :) I purchased a 2013 FWD CX-5 in September of 2012. About three months ago I had brand new tires put on it. A few days after I had...

Hey guys! I've got an 03 P5 and I've decided to start going on some suspension upgrades for her. ( And I'd like some opinions from you guys) So she handles great right now but after reading some threads I've realized that there's some upgrade's out there that'll help me carve corners a little...

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...

Hi everyone--couple of questions related to rear sway bars here: My rear sway bar broke over the weekend. As I am not sure how long I'll be keeping my 2003 Protege5 (probably another year?) I am looking for the easiest/cheapest replacement option. I've been looking for a used stock rear bar...

I'm looking to pick up a used rear sway bar / stabilizer bar to replace the stock one on my 2003 protege5. Would prefer stock as I've already purchased the replacement stock-length links to go with it. Thanks! Tom D Los Angeles

Hey guys, first post here. So I bought struts off of rockauto and when I began to start the job I realized that all of the sway bar end links were incredibly rusted on. So now the game plan is to replace those as well. But when I look for them on rockauto they tell me there is multiple sizes. 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 guys! Noob here, at least for upgrading my 5. its a 2007, and i'm ordering the BC racing coilovers. with that, I also plan to upgrade the sway bars but cannot find the aftermarket upgrade for the front sway bar. DO i need it? Will it make a difference? I was going to go with Koni Yellows...

First things first, I'm Green with auto repair. I have removed both sway bar links however the hole at the end of the passenger side sway bar that mounts to the link bushing has broken. I'm trying to remove the entire sway bar but have no room to just pull it out. It is totally free from...

So I've been looking around casually for options to deal with the inevitable clunk for as long as I've had it; the several brackets, different materials in the bushing (rubber, polyurethane), Teflon tape, marine and other silicone lubricants but they all seem to be indefinite solutions. Now...

(Repost from tires/suspension, sorry if someone is upset, just trying to get responses from you knowledgeable people) First off, I have driven a few different mazda cars over the years. I got the CX-5 about a year ago and just hit 4k miles. So, I drove on the highway last week and was having...

First off, I have driven a few different mazda cars over the years. I got the CX-5 about a year ago and just hit 4k miles. So, I drove on the highway last week and was having some difficulty controlling the car side to side. At anywhere from 50-70MPH I feel it pull to the left or the right...

I bought these mounts a while back but got rid of the protege for a bigger family car and work vehicle. Rear mounts and inserts are brand new, never installed and come in the original box. REAR SIDE inserts? other inserts (other side maybe?) washer and zip ties from the package Factory...

I have a rear 22 mm Progress Sway Bar that I am planning to install tomorrow with some new stuts and endlinks. Anyways I was reading somewhere that it is necessary to have some sort of mounting bracket between the sway bar and the end link? Is this true, because when I look under the car it...
