Albert, try spraying some silicone up into the door felts. Mine did the same thing and they just need to be lubricated, the felts around the door glass.

Update on my camber arms. It has been 3.5 years since I installed them on my 2006 Mazda5. I installed a set of Khumo tires when I installed the adjustable camber arms and the rear tires are hardly wearing at all. When I rotated them to the front, they still looked brand new. I think they had 9...

It won't hurt to put a couple thousand miles on them, just don't wait too long. The toe was fine on mine, just the camber was out bad enough where I wore the inside edges out first.

Yes, but the wheel has to come off every time to adjust. It's a PITA but the time spent aligning the camber will pay dividends in less tire replacement.

Well, I went to O-Reilly's to order the purge control valve and the car no longer idles rough or tries to stall. I stopped numerous times to try to get the car to stall and it never did. Before that, I made sure all of the vacuum hoses I could find were tight so maybe that did the trick. I hope...

My wife's 2006 Mazda5 has been rough idling lately and wants to quit when coming to a stop. I replaced the plugs, seafoamed the gas, and cleaned the purge control valve with carb cleaner and checked the resistance. It was 20 ohms. Not sure what to do next. Still acting up.

I had the car aligned. Both rear wheels are at .5 and .7 degrees. The toe was not causing the wear on mine since the toe was not off. I went with the Kumho tires and they are nice and quiet. Nice to have the camber fixed! Thanks to those who have contributed to this thread!

Well, I must have gotten really lucky because my driver's side took less time than the passenger side. I did the passenger side first so I had the learning curve there. I looked at the clearance between the the bolt and exhaust bracket and figured I'd have to take the subframe loose but noticed...

I had to take my wife's keyfobs and where the battery makes contact inside of them, I sprayed a little contact cleaner on them, wiped them off, then bent the pins that make contact with the battery. It has not given me a problem ever since. It doesn't sound like the same problem except for maybe...

I love this thread. My wife has a 2006 5 and I am tired of replacing tires that are only worn only on the inside edges. I just got my SPC arms in and will be attempting install tomorrow. Not looking forward to it but it is not going to fix itself. I measured the rear wheels using a level and...
