    hmm dont' think so. Don't notice anything out of the ordinary while riding in the car. Perhaps the springs are starting to sag? Either way will be bringing it in next friday.

    Help! looking for Brake shim/anti rattle clip/hardware kit

    Thanks for the help everyone. I called Mazda as well as the company I got the brakes from and believe the rattling is due to an improper installation. Most likely the inner and outer brakepads have been switched around. I'll call again to confirm, but man this is frustrating.

    Show me your roof box!

    Unfortunately not much on craigslist in my area for used carriers. I'm thinking of getting this. Seems to get good reviews, and can fold down when I don't use it. I'll be only using this 2 or 3 times a year for camping so it'll be easy for storage. I'll post a review once I get it.

    Ok, After all the reading, i'm think I'm going with the thule 460 with 3080 kit. Is there a big diff between the 460r/460? Also, whats a good length of bars to get? My setup i'm looking for is a slim box and maybe a bike rack as well? would 58" be sufficient?
