I agree that struts is a possibility, but the "bounce" test passed. And the handling is mostly normal. It's just when the car gets loaded unevenly, like when you turn or hit a bump on one side only...still puzzled. Thanks! Eric

Over the past few months, my P5 has been doing some strange things handling-wise. It's now most noticeable on the highway...if I hit a bump, it will bump-steer in a somewhat scary way. It feels a little like hydroplaning, but more like the way a car will steer itself if you hit a bump...

OK, so this is going to be a long thread. I'm hoping that some of you will read it and offer suggestions. 1. I have a rattle/clunk in my front end. I'm thinking it could possibly be a loose bolt on the exhaust J-pipe that I replaced, but more likely a suspension clunk. 1a. If it's the...

I'm having the same problem...did you replace the caliper? Did it fix your leak? Guess I'm going to have to do it this weekend...

do you still have the driver's interior door panel? will offer $25 + shipping to IL.

I have no oil consumption issues, but the rust on my car is growing like cancer. You will live to hate this purchase. I see the value of my car taking a s*** day by day. Eric

...and buy a car without a huge hole in the trunk. I love my P5, but wagons will never be the business for track duty.

main drawbacks with seat in the middle are: 1. access to get kid in and out 2. both front seats are impacted by the placement of the rear-facing seat. for instance, when my kids were rear-facing, I put them behind the passenger seat so I didn't have to slide my seat forward to wedge the...

I have an Alpine deck with iPod cord and some Alpine Type-S in the front doors and LOVE IT. It's all you need. Rear speakers are overrated anyway. Just fade it +2 to the front and call it a day.

by the way, I considered the header idea, but honestly, this car is so slow I don't even want to mess with it. Plus, I would just have a nice shiny header dumping into the stock exhaust system, so ZERO gains really. This car is my daily beater and will continue to be until I sell it in many...

curls, you are AWESOME. thank you so much.

Sounds good. I see a VERY cheap SS header on eBay...any thoughts on quality? Seems like it should be fine to me, but maybe I'm missing something. And no, they don't look at anything. Pull up, plug in reader to OBD-II port, check codes, "Thank you, sir, have a nice day."

Windows closed. Moving car. No fumes concern...you are more paranoid than my wife! It's getting fixed. Soon. Right now it's snowing and my wife's CRV gets the garage.

I have the exact same problem. Did you ever source the part number? Eric

I have had my P5 for just over 4 years and only replaced one bulb so far...

Flange is cracked. Does anyone have a part number for a new J-pipe? I'm thinking this happened due to fatigue caused by the floppy stock motor mounts (that I still have) that are exascerbated by the sometimes choppy clutch. Oh well. Time for a new J-pipe and motor mount inserts I suppose...

thank you. I might leave it this way for a while. My daughter likes the extra zoom zoom (she's 3) and it's really only loud under load. Actually kind of sounds like turbo car with an open downpipe.

Don't post here much, but thought you guys might have some thoughts... This weekend I developed a noticeable exhaust leak near the engine (definitely not a rusted out muffler situation). It is almost non-existant at partial throttle, but under load it sounds like an STI. Ha! Are there any...

that's kind of what I figured. it's strange that Mazda doesn't have a better fuel map or a smarter/faster relearn mode...but i think we knew that.
