    2013~2016 103k miles - shocks and struts replacement

    Good Info. So I went to the shop cause of a clunk and bad handling, and they fixed a broken sway bar link left side and replaced right side too. I told him car was pulling to left and he said 1 tire was bald on inside so suggested replacement. I took him up on that since tires are 70k miles...

    2013~2016 103k miles - shocks and struts replacement

    Yeah - thats was kinda my logic kaps, but discussion with LT mechanic was whether I want to keep the car 100k more miles.... so it seems expectation is the suspension lasts 100k so why not change it now so I have a nice ride considering Ill probably be getting something new in 5 years after 200k...

    From Yoko to Yoko: 17" Tire replacement review Yokohama Avid Ascend 225/65/17 102H

    Just had my first drive today on the new ones. Feels good man. Quiet and driving true. Like a new car! I could be crazy but I think I smell the orange. Only problem now is its showing the age of the suspension.

    2013~2016 103k miles - shocks and struts replacement

    Thank you for the advice (and others). We have a great mechanic. They warranty everything 1 year no matter what and I trust him completely.... been going to him for 15 years. Just paid 800 for the new tires so 1600 was a bit of a stretch this month considering I have 1 year of payments left...

    2013~2016 103k miles - shocks and struts replacement

    Mechanic who just did the tires suggestion after a discussion of him asking if I was keeping it another 100k miles.... which is the plan. After new tires and alignment ride feels bouncy but not dangerous or uncomfortable. No loud clunk on potholes. How do I check alignment? 1 tire was bald...

    2013~2016 103k miles - shocks and struts replacement

    Do they need to be replaced if I just put 4 new tires on? Am I just being cheap and fooling myself? $800 installed seems reasonable. Little info out there on this.

    From Yoko to Yoko: 17" Tire replacement review Yokohama Avid Ascend 225/65/17 102H

    Just brought my 2013 CPO cx5 with 103k miles to the mechanic to fix a broken sway bar link and been driving on these tires since 30k miles no issues. Decided to replace them today with the exact same one since they treated me so well. Good selection if you are a highway driver like me. They...

    75k mile maintenance observation / recommendation

    Just to update - remanufactured transmission installed and she is driving like a dream again. Paperwork suggests faulty part referenced in the TSB and a repair related to a whining noise above 10mph. Dealer was excellent to work with and had me back in the CX5 in roughly 2 business days...

    2013 CX-5 Traction, Tire Pressure, Check Engine Light, Trouble Running

    Definitely a stutter all the way back to the dealer. I did not restart the ignition so can’t speak to an intermittent problem. It felt exactly how you would expect if something misfired, but I come to find out that the computer puts her into a limp mode as a safety feature. Maybe the stutter...

    I had that happen and it was a cylinder misfire bad coil, coil replaced under warranty all good.

    75k mile maintenance observation / recommendation

    I sense a transmission failure is uncommon and that your sense of alarm might be skewed due to reading forums where issues are more likely to be discussed then folks saying everything is “a ok”. I certainly can’t guide you either way, but listening to your vehicle and performing maintenance...

    75k mile maintenance observation / recommendation

    If they give you 10 then they think they can sell it for 15. I would opt for a private sale under 100k miles.... something like 80k and warranty transfer to sweeten the deal in the 13k dollar range. I would think these hold value better then a 5 year old GM equinox or the like. My plan is...

    75k mile maintenance observation / recommendation

    Check first post for that clue. Funny I didn’t put it together, but I am not particularly gifted with mechanics. Yes - obsessively watching transmission videos on YouTube, this repair is no small task. Glad I had the CPO because I did not recognize within the 60k. I already miss her!

    75k mile maintenance observation / recommendation

    Funny thing about that TSB.... I was convinced the sound/problem was a wheel bearing (experienced that before), but as I played with the throttle response, like throttling a boat... it was getting more and more apparent that the noise was not based on wheel revolution. Keep in mind - I’m just a...
