I finally found the right line from a local junkyard and my new accumulator/drier will be coming in today. A buddy of mine has all the a/c tools to vacuum the system and charge it, but does anyone known what the high/low pressure to ambient temperature ratio is for a 2002 p5?

What kinda set ups does everyone have, what are your experiences?

I just got a set of Goodridge lines and Hawk HPS pads, and sometime in the next week, I'm going to install it all and bleed the system with some Motul 600 fluid (as recommended by Mike Kojima).
My question is this: do I need to bleed the ABS modulator in addition to the calipers? ]]> Mazda Protegé 5 (Protege5.com) sneakypete http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123815433-Bleeding-ABS-equipped-system http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123815429-Need-second-opinion&goto=newpost Wed, 16 May 2012 04:36:24 GMT I'm 99% sure it's the strut bearing just want to make sure before I go through the hassle of fixing it.

A few months ago when it rained I would hear a popping noise while sitting still and turning the wheel. When it did this you could see the spring jump and move. A few weeks ago it started doing it all the time but only while sitting still. The past week every once in awhile itl make a loud pop while moving but only when going slow as in less than ~5 mph. If your looking right where it comes up under the hood and you turn the wheel the small bar will also move around in circles, both sides do this so I'm not sure if it's normal. It also pulls to the left or right slightly or a lot Depending on what it wants to do but jerking the wheel the opposite direction very hard will makes it not as bad or even straightn it out.

We have tried putting oil into where the bearing is and it did make it a lot quieter for about a day and shining a light down into it you can see rust.

If I missed any information I could give sorry just want to get this thing fixed before it gets worse ]]> Mazda Protegé 5 (Protege5.com) tweety2300 http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123815429-Need-second-opinion http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123815423-Thread-Issue&goto=newpost Wed, 16 May 2012 02:49:57 GMT So the threads on one of my MSP wheels is shot and now i cant put a center cap on it.
