What do I do with my Mazda5?

[Mr. Speed5]

what do ya mean by "foglight jumper'? I did have my '02 Focus' headlight switch out once - the foglights are on only when headlights are on. However, there seems to be another terminal on back that would allow me to remove the wire from the plug and switch it to come on with the parking lights...i haven't tried it yet. My '08 5 GT would look better with the fogs on w/parking lights though!

Updating my own thread. Took the 5 to another shop who confirmed that the front swaybar bushings were bad (again).
Everything else on the suspension was good, as it should have been, since I replaced almost everything.
The repair has been good for over 3 months now, and it handles fine without clunks.

The KYB GR2 are a good match for the stock suspension, but not something I'd recommend for performance driving, and certainly not an upgrade.

Overall, practical, easy to work on, reliable. Body integrity, suspension, trim are all weak points.

The car has 60k miles now and I did a compression test the other day since I was swapping spark plugs.
Compression numbers were 160, 157, 150, 154. Anyone know the original spec?

Remaining issue is the rear door actuators, now both working intermittently. Parts on order.
Still thinking of swapping for a X5 with 3rd row, MDX, or something else.
