Thanks, Mine is a 2008 Grand Tour AWD with 83K. Is that $600 for both front or one side? My guess is that is for both front bearings. I'll check into the cover issue but this is a composite bearing with dust shields so I'm not sure how the speed sensor can contaminate (not saying it can't...

I just changed mine, its a big job. Don't attempt without a press and a good compliment of tools. Many aspects of this repair are a challenge: 1.) The socket to remove the axle nut or at least the one I used is a 1 3/8" 2.) Separating the axle shaft requires a good size brass punch 3.)...

Ok sorry for the delayed reply, it was the wheel bearing and I fixed it myself RIGHT SIDE. On the above comment, I did check for play and it really didn't have any but was definitely noisy. The car is SUPER quiet now I mean it must have been making noise for some time because it is very very...

Anyone have any experience with a CX-9 front wheel bearing going bad; i.e. really noisy. It sounds like a bad wheel bearing and the noise definitely changes when the steering wheel is moved from side to side (usually a telltale sign). The noise basically came from nowhere, one day didn't...

I used Amsoil full synthetic for JWS 3309 equivalent.

Yes this is a misfire, I went thorough all this with my CX-9 and swore it was a transmission issue. This forum saved me, I had no codes at all and saw where others had similar problems and it had been fixed with spark plugs and/or coils. I would recommend pulling the dynamic chamber and...

Does anyone have any experience with a DIY replacement of the CX-9 water pump. My CX-9 had the water pump replaced at 14K and now it's leaking again, this time out of warranty at over 80k. The first time the comment from the dealer was the engine had to be removed, the alldata information also...

Update: After 2 weeks the car is running great with no more "clunk in 6th gear". I was hesitant about this being the root cause but the problem has not reoccurred. Thanks to all who posted their experiences with similar issues. Without this forum I wouldn't have even thought of the ignition...

An update on where I'm at and read through this thread, I believe it will help you: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123672797-Mild-quot-trailer-hitching-quot-sensation-in-Drive-6 I read it and decided, that the misfire idea had some merit, so I thought I would start by replacing...

No codes, it does have a clunk in 6th that some have referred to as "trailer hitching" in other threads. In some cases this clunk, surge, trailer hitching, or jerking has been the result of an engine misfire. Most people have said that they thought it was a transmission issue, and that was my...

2008 CX-9 with 70K miles; supposedly the secondary coil resistance spec. is 5-6K ohms Checked all mine today (I was going to replace spark plugs) and the lowest reading I got was 8M ohms. A few of the coils had such high resistance the meter wouldn't even register a reading, just showed OL...

I just looked at mine tonight, it's a 2008 and it has no drain plug but does have a fill plug. The fill plug is in real tight next too the exhaust. The manual specifies GL-5 75W-140, so I bought a quart but the fill capacity only calls for about 1/2 a quart. Has anyone performed a siphon or...

Did you ever get any resolution to this issue cause my 2008 has the exactly the same symptom, I would have described it the same way myself. Funny thing is it never happens with the cruise control engaged?
