    2010 3S HB lease end. Buyout?

    I have read the other threads about buying at the lease end is a bad idea. However, looking at the KBB, Truecar, and local ads, I am wondering if its still a bad idea. Scenario: I have a 2010 3S HB 6-speed manual with 29,000 miles. No additional options. I am leasing for 42 months (ends in...

    Rear Diff.

    Is the new crush washer really needed? Anyone able to get it anywhere besides the Dealer? Autozone cannot get that part.

    Low speed popping sounds from beneath the vehicle

    They replaced the same in mine, in addition they also replaced my LF Axle. So far so good. I would get it checked while its under warranty

    Low speed popping sounds from beneath the vehicle

    After 2.5 weeks, its finally ready. They replaced the motor mount, axle, and re-checked the suspension. I am hoping this fixes the problem, my patience with this car is wearing thin and we are thinking of trading it if anything else goes wrong.

    Low speed popping sounds from beneath the vehicle

    They hooked up the same instrument to our car. I just got a call from the service advisor, he said they'll need it for at least 1-2 more days. They are now trying to fix by "trial and error". They are going to replace parts until the noise stops.. (thought)

    Low speed popping sounds from beneath the vehicle

    They are going to look at the struts again (they replaced the strut bearing last month), then look at the axle. The tech is stumped! They gave me a loaner car last Friday, so that's a plus.

    Low speed popping sounds from beneath the vehicle

    Wow same issue here. Our CX-9 has been at the dealership for two days with this problem. They also called Mazda Corp and were told to replace the motor mount. The only issue is that the part is in California, so they will have my car for a couple more days. How many miles are on yours? I...

    RF wheel bearing failed, now RF strut mount failed

    Anyone have to replace their strut mount because the "bearing" went bad? The dealership is telling me that this is the cause of my front suspension clunk. This is just 4,000 miles after they replaced my wheel bearing (@51K miles) under warrenty.

    any non-OEM roof rails available at lower cost?

    That's the reason I went with the OEM setup. They seem to be too far apart. Also the front aftermarket mount will lean slightly forward due to the roofline.
