    bent and/or warped wheels

    What is a good low profile jack for the Mazda 5 front lift point?

    I drive onto a ramp first then slide trolley jack underneath to lift car. It's safe and works Sent from my MI MAX using Tapatalk

    bent and/or warped wheels

    Two of the wheels are bent. Ideally I WA t to find two identical OE wheels and replace them but it is very hard to find so I figured changing all four is easier Sent from my MI MAX using Tapatalk

    Thanks guys. I'll explore rx8 and miata wheels. I just put new tires on current set so I'm stuck with wheels which fit exactly the same Sent from my MI MAX using Tapatalk

    bent and/or warped wheels

    Yup I checked it out. A lot of the posts are 17 and 18's to make the car look sexier. I just need a basic 16 inch wheel strong enough not to get dented or damaged again so easily and fits without use of hub spacer or wheel spacer. Unfortunately I have no budget to go for sexy wheels

    Hi all, haven't posted in long time. Wheels in my 2012 Mazda 5 are bent (2 of em). Steering wheel shakes quite a bit at highway speeds. Already paid to balance twice and didn't solve issue so need new wheels. Any recommendations for aftermarket wheels? Dealer wants $480 / OEM wheel which is...

    Front seat deterioration?

    i work in foam industry. unfortunately its wear and tear, no repairs are possible. you need to replace foam and upholstery to make it new again. Sent from my SHV-E250L using Tapatalk

    it was a drain and fill, not a flush. i personally think drain and fill is sufficient ince every 50k or so. it depends on vehicle is driven. this is mostly highway so no point changing it often Sent from my SHV-E250L using Tapatalk

    Changed ATF at 35k; it's gray at 42k. (2013 Mazda5 GT)

    color doesnt determine much. you need to send it to s lab for analysis. i did mine at the dealer around 80k km. it made a noticeable difference. before shifts were noticeable esp between 1 - 2 and 2 - 3 but now its butter smooth Sent from my SHV-E250L using Tapatalk
