    What have you done to your Mazda5 today?

    I put in new front pads today. It's been a while and I am commuting again (no more WFH), I think I am a bit overdue. I did notice some grease around both of my drive shafts and now wonder if I need to do something about them? I haven't searched yet, but can this be done as DIY?

    What have you done to your Mazda5 today?

    Well, its winter time! That means only one thing, the rear shock mount are gonna need to be replaced. I did the passenger side about a month ago and then the driver side went. This time round I decided to give the steel versions a try (Dorman 924-412HP). This is already my 3rd set. First...

    Mazda5 Bluetooth Module question

    Your 2012 Sport (like my 2013) did not come with a Bluetooth module. As theblooms mentioned above, you are much better off getting an aftermarket stereo and necessary adapters to retain steering wheel controls. Just save yourself the trouble and avoid buying the knockoff Android units. They...

    Mazda5 (Gen2) Aftermarket Sway Bar Options/Fitment?

    If you are going to swap in the sway bar, you would need to use beefier end link as well. I got the OEM Mazdaspeed sway bar on my car. I tried different styles of end links and ended up with OEM-like links by AC Delco. The MOOG ones look beefier, but the installation process for MOOG is not...

    What have you done to your Mazda5 today?

    This past weekend I finally found that tire busting pothole! I had a decision to make. Buy two new tires, or mount the tires on the new (used) wheels I got over the winter. I just had to put on my new wheels. She looks great. Now I am pondering whether I should leave the ride as is, or...

    What have you done to your Mazda5 today?

    Yes, the pads still had something left in them, but after 9 New England winters, the brakes needed some attention. I would have loved to have enough time to clean everything and paint the calipers, but that will be something for another day :)

    2013 Mazda 5 Sport, rear brakes. I never got around to do the rears, but it was a matter of time.
