    Anyone Need Parts?

    Sorry to anyone who was looking for parts and never got an answer. Back then, once I decided not to repair, I looked into selling the car off whole and got decent money for it. I still have the uncut, unprogrammed key (somewhere) if anyone is interested. The 5 was replaced with a 08 Malibu...

    Anyone Need Parts?

    Also have a brand new uncut switchblade keyfob (with unprogrammed chip) available. Never had the time to work with the dealer around here to get in and get the thing programmed and cut.

    Anyone Need Parts?

    We've parked Fives and I think it's for good. Driving into work one day I heard a tapping that quickly became a knocking. I tried adding STP and other stuff to the oil to help quite it down but didn't happen. On top of the noise, while getting it home it seemed to loose a little power as I was...

    Steelies

    Anyone in the Detroit Metro area have steelis they want to sell cheap? Looking to go to 16" steelies over the 17" factory alloys I have now. I need two front tires (insides of both are showing the wires) so now might be a good time to change. I know I can buy new for $60 ea but can't spend that...

    Driving Lights / Fog Lights

    Ok, I have an 07 Sport and one of the lower lights (driving lights / fog lights) went out. Looking at replacements I see this is an h11 bulb. I'm considering moving to LED lights maybe even in yellow. I did find a cool set that will switch between yellow and white as well and they cost about...

    Good aftermarket shop in the Detroit area?

    Ricks Tire on VanDyke between 22 and 23 (east side of street). I do a lot of my own work as well but this is were I go when I take my car in. Decent prices and honest people.

    Front Passenger Seat Armrest

    So one of my wife's gripes about the 5 is that her seat has no armrest (I have an 07 Sport). I've seen a couple pics of an 08 that had an armrest on the front passenger seat. Anyone know if there is an add on piece that will just fit the seat that is there or do I have to replace the entire...

    Front M Emblem

    Well, since I call mine Fives, I was looking at a chrome 5 to put in the space. I've also considered an imperial cog (the logo the empire uses in Star Wars) just cause I'm a Star Wars junkie. I haven't really decided on anything specific but just tossing the idea around so I was wondering if...

    Front M Emblem

    Just curious if anyone has ever changed the front 'M' Emblem on their five? I have some ideas to put in place but was looking to see if anyone else had done it for some tips. Thanks!

    Broke a shock tonite, and need the name of a part (upper shock mount?)

    This just happened to me on my way home last night. Pulled into WalMart to pick up something for dinner and heard a lot of noise coming from the rear passenger side. I was only about a mile from home so I drove home taking it slowly. Peaked into the wheel well to find the mount was snapped...

    Clunking Jackhammer sound

    I'm slow moving on this and any other car repair (unless it to get the car back on the road). My wife likes the 'house projects' completed first. Anyway, took a look at the passenger motor mount to find there was an obvious 'tear' in the top and the inside of the mount is bone dry. This must...

    Mazda5 Interior / Cargo Flexibility Photos

    No pic, but a quick story. I purchased the 5 for the cargo capacity. My son plays hockey, has a mini locker room kind of wheeled hockey bag. It would barley fit in the trunk of my Sebring, just in between the speaker sections. No room for anything else, his stick would be in the front...

    Clunking Jackhammer sound

    A little back detail... Had a bad wheel bearing. Took it to Shop A and was given a crazy price to fix, but they also gave me a full inspection. On the Suspension it rates Tie Rod Ends as good, Steering Rack/box and good, Springs as good, Sway Bar/Links as good, Ball Joints as poor...

    Clunking Jackhammer sound

    Hey y'all! I've got a 2007 5 Sport with just under 150k miles. Here is the current problem. On take off (especially when turning) I get a clunking jackhammer sound from under the car. This tends to happen when accelerating. On occasion it also happens when accelerating over rough areas of...

    Looking for replacement wheel

    Thanks for the feedback. I found a place locally that said they could get me one for $100. I haven't seen it yet and I'm getting the run-a-round from this guy with 'it will be in Wednesday', 'I guarantee it will be here Friday'. I finally got the call today that it's in, but had another flat...
