    CX-5 Rear sway bar end link options?

    Rockauto lists Moog K series for front and rear of the Mazda3 and also the Mevotech premium for the front. I have Koni Special Actives from tire rack on my CX-5. I love them. I believe KYB is the OEM for shocks and struts.

    CX-5 Rear sway bar end link options?

    It doesn't help that most of these companies have a best product line and a junk product line. Which product line of Moog did you get? What happened? Did you have to swap it out for OEM?

    CX-5 Rear sway bar end link options?

    Here's the rest of the story. When installing the sway bar my mechanic is of the mindset stiffer is always better. I used a corksport bar. He put it on it's stiffest setting. It seems like factory end links were the weakest link!:ROFLMAO: That being said there appear to be no good choices other...

    CX-5 Rear sway bar end link options?

    I'm trying to decide between Mazda genuine OEM, Moog, and Mevotech TTX. I made the mistake of not replacing them when installing a corksport sway bar. Now one is shot won't fully tighten.

    CX-5 Accessory must haves?

    I found a Canadian Amazon seller who was able to sell them to me a while back for my 2015. I had to ask them about it and they were able to put them on their Amazon store so I could buy them.

    Mazda OEM vs Value brake padsa

    www.rockauto.com sells Akebono as well as various other name brand pads. Their prices seem to be unbeatable. I wonder how the Akebono Pro Act compare to Mazda OEM since they are both made by Akebono? I wouldn't be afraid to go with Raybestos EHT, Wagner OEX, or Centric Posi Quiet pads. For...

    Rear sway bar options for 1st generation CX-5

    JBR's bars are the same for Mazda 3, Mazda 6, and 2WD CX-5. Corkport's Mazda 3 and Mazda 6 bars have identical instructions to each other. The only differece I can tell is that they are 25 mm instead of 28 mm for the discontinued CX-5 bar.

    Rear sway bar options for 1st generation CX-5

    If you include the billet mounts corksport is a little cheaper than hardrace. megan racing is 19mm. I couldn't pull up any working links anywhere on ultra racing. Should I just order the corksport and do whatever it takes to make it work or pay the few extra bucks for the hardrace?

    Rear sway bar options for 1st generation CX-5

    Response from Corksport The CX-5 Swaybar didn't sell very well at all so we discontinued it. It is possible that it could work. However, it would more then likely have to be a FWD one and would take some serious dedication to make it work properly IF it was possible. regards...
