Would you mind identifying where exactly the blank switch blocks? Are they in the area in blue in this diagram?

It took me just over 10 hours over 2 days to figure this all out. At least I know how now. I am a real novice! If you were here I would have spent the free 6+ hours you would have saved me and took you around town and hit up the local breweries! The rain is not so bad. There is no such thing...

Lucky! Man to have 72F all year round! Appreciate the assist. If you could also measure the ride height as well, that would be awesome. I'm going to contact Bilstein as well to see what they say.

Here's a pic to show what I'm talking about. One thing I did noticed was the total strut length on both of the bilstein's was longer too. Like almost 3 inches longer! I initially thought maybe my original struts had lost some of the length due to age (118,000 miles). I checked the ride...

How far down did you push the strut into the knuckle? The bilstein front struts did not have an indicator of far to go down unlike my original and kyb. I have some rubbing of my moog end links again the frame of car when I turn right. The left side is fine.

what can one do instead of changing to 5w-30? Is there anything one can do? I'll check mine regularly now. I noticed mine burns about 1/2 - 1 quart every 6000 miles.

Should I go with the BILSTEIN B4 or the MONROE QUICK-STRUT? The ease of Monroe's is a huge plus but just wondering if time and effort are worth it for the BILSTEIN? Any thoughts appreciated. The MONROE QUICK-STRUT also come with mount too. Also, besides sway bar bushing and end bar links, what...

From what I've read here https://www.tirerack.com/suspension/suspension.jsp?make=Bilstein&model=B4+OE+Replacement+Strut&group=Touring+Class&partNum=22-112811&autoMake=Mazda&autoModel=Mazda5&autoYear=2010&autoModClar=Sport they are made for OE replacement. Would this be a better bet? Are these...

did you need an adaptor for the harness (to the heat pad)?

Can you clarify of parts for putting in MS3 RSB? You are suggesting Moog sway bar end links that are bigger? So not Moog one's for a M5 but one's for specifically MS3??? I was going to order these http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=1287952&cc=1444871 Mind posting a part number...

I just got my fenders rolled and I have to agree to get this done professionally. The guy I brought it to came highly recommended. No cracking of paint. He used a machine and the results were great! He didn't roll it all the way so that I can clean it regularly. He said rolling it all the way...

Care to elaborate on the difference between GR2 and GAJ? I am wanting better management of a heavy load (6 passengers), especially going over bumps. I was thinking about adding 2012 oem springs and matching upper seat mounts on my 2010 but rather not if the KYB GAJ will do the trick. I...

Here's one from me. I don't understand the numbering system used in the TSB so it might be a repost but it is a new one that supersedes the older one I found online. Category:02 TSB (Service bulletin No):11-02 Subject: 2006-2010 MAZDAs. NOISE FROM FRONT OR REAR SUSPENSION WHEN PASSING OVER A...

I'm cross posting in here, hopefully, you guys might have something to add. My problem is a passenger rear tire scrapping the fender when going over bumps or dips, especially with 6 passengers in the car. I have a Mazda 5 2010. What I've done so far: 1) Replaced rear shocks with KYB 343412...

My snow tires (Gislaved Nord Frost 5) are mounted on oem steelies. I've had these for 3 winters without problems before but again it could be the camber correction. I chatted with the local Mazda dealer and he referenced a tsb. I'm attaching a full pdf. but you can see the summary below. I...

Thanks guys. I may have found one but it was on a car with quite a bit of miles (~111,000MILES). Is this considered too much mileage for a rear sway bar? It comes with end links but those might have to be changed.

Just visually checked the bump stops now and they look ok as well. Tried to feel around it to see there might be cracks but there doesn't seem to be any.
