    strut mount question

    No they won't. The P5 runs a sport suspension. The mounts are about 1/2 bigger in diameter.

    Rear brake caliper leaking???

    Sounds like it's coming from the caliper it's self. You can try a rebuild kit or simply replace the caliper and you'll be good to go. You probably haven't seen any loss of fluid in the MC or in your garage/drive way because it likely just started and when you drive it will fly off the wheel not...

    starting issues... again

    This could be any number of things. Literally the list is endless..First thing... check you're electrical system..Battery, starter, ignition switch, coils, spark plugs, MAF sensor. Then if you still can't find the problem it's probably gas related. Fuel pump, fuel filter, injectors etc. Does...

    ABS light and brake light coming on, going off and then coming on again.

    For the ABS light, sensor in the back may need replaced. It can get knocked around with pot holes and stuff. E-brake light usually only comes on and stays on for a couple reasons, ebrake is pulled up a little or has a bad cable, low brake fluid due to a leak or worn pads (which may be you're...

    Sounds like your calipers seized and possibly a pitted rotor.

    battery problem/stalling?

    Problem 1: Check your serpentine belt it may be one the verge of going or possibly your alt. Problem 2: EGR valve. Try cleaning it or have it replaced. Problem 3 (your headlight): Almost guaranteed it's the white connector block on the back. I used to have to smack my passenger side one as...

    Has this ever happened to anyone?

    Could be their machine. I would think it would have affected all four rims if that was the case though unless the small crack started in the body of the rim, which is usually quite hard to see. Then when they put it on the machine the pressure snapped it which would be my guess. Have a look...

    Broken Fog Lights on my 2003 Mazda Protege 5

    No you can just replace the bulbs. I replace my drivers side bulb a couple of years ago.

    Has this ever happened to anyone?

    The tires you had on the car before the new ones, did they leak? Also, did they put the same tire on the new rim? Usually a hairline crack may have a slow leak but often times they hold air quite well depending on the location and size of the crack. I'm gonna bet it may be the valve stem..

    Rear brakes... what could be wrong?

    Well you've covered all the bases. Only other thing I can think of is maybe re bleed the breaks. May have some air in there.

    Electrical problem for my p5

    The battery terminals should have continuity, that's normal. I would venture to say you have a bad ground connection somewhere or your alt may be going. Amps tend to draw a lot of power so anytime you hook them up you should use a capacitor or a switch with a separate fuse to help control the...

    Catalytic Converters

    The cats seem to be working fine. They sound okay. Both shields however are almost rusted off. When my checking engine light came on initially I was driving on the highway, it all of a sudden lost power, so I pulled over and stopped, then the engine shaked profusely for maybe 5-10 seconds and...

    Catalytic Converters

    I'm in need of new converters for my P5. My car is an 02 base model no up grades. I found these two on partstrain.com. Just wondering if anyone has used them before and if you have was there any problems with fitment or problems in general? I'm just looking to replace my stock converters and...

    first snow today...not impressed!

    Depends on the oversteer and understeer. I discovered last year that it helped after I had my hitch installed. My bike and trailer, combined around a 1000lbs of extra weight along with my stuff in the car, makes her handle much better than without the weight. Feels very solid, like a tank...

    Timing Belt

    changed my alt and my timing at 116xxx. Timing belt was in better shape than my alt belt, probably could have gotten another couple K out of it. It should not take more than two hours, mine was 1.5 hours. Total bill was $284= 2 belts, labour and an oil change. The price can ranges higher or...

    first snow today...not impressed!

    I had the ds-1's for the last 2.5 years and I loved them. Tried to get them again this year but now they make the ds-2, same tire just a different tread pattern. They were slippery for the first month or so after I got them on but after that no problems, break in time. One of the best tires I've...
