Long story short, need passenger side rear view glass. I am aware of these from the past but they were going for ~$80 pair. I'm opting for direct replacement, $31.68 pair with heat glass. Don't care for turn indicator or BSM (+wiring). IIRC, I believe <'10 cars come prewired up to the...

2008 Mazda 5 getting long in the tooth.. Lately it seems all of the car's material components are starting to failed in bunches as if it hit a some mythical expiration date at the same time. Roof rail cover developed a hold/crack for no reason and the corresponding rear cover popped out... The...

My '08 headlight covers are pretty oxidized. Seeing some of you folks buffing them to sparking is making me want to tackle it. I've never buffer headlights before but wanted to see what kits you folks are using and how long/well (time duration, not mileage) the rework is holding up on this or...

Anyone know exactly what the O.D. of the stock exhaust piping? Google can't seem to find a straight answer but it seems to be 1 7/8" or 1 3/4"? Pipe to flange weld rusted off and the gasket crumbles apart. I suspect there may be other leaks down there. Need to know diameter then decide if I'm...

Whelp, this doesn't look right. Now I know where the phantom knocking sound was coming from!? It's been loose and knocking for a while but I didn't 'see' any issues with the strut mount and thought it was the FSB bushing. The rubber failed due to hard-knocking/damping from suspension impacts...

Brought new, used for 1 year, just under 10k miles. Everything is included in the original box. Been stored for a while thinking I'll get back into another Mazda but that is not likely to happen. Need gone! Bonus items. -New pair of BC Racing coilover accordion boots -Pair of universal 5 mm...

~138 on OEM Axles -they are waaay overdue (lot of play and clicking on pass). Don't recall coming across many post on replacements. OEM does not make financial sense. Top of the list is Cardone reman via RockAuto. Anyone use this or have feedback on Axles used on a Mazda5? What have you...

2008 @ 135K. Radiator developed a slow but continuous leak, right above the drain plug (near lowest point); pour coolant in, it comes right out in a slow/steady trickle. Thankfully I was able to catch it while I was on the road (thank god for temp gauge) and had to shut it on/off and limp my...

Anyone looking to make their Mazda 5 handle on rails or want to lower it on budget? Gauging interest. I am looking clear out my garage. Make the best of your COVID stay at home time. All parts are interchangeable between '06-'15 Mazda 5 (chassis did not change through out these years and...

Installed new Bilstein B4s. Awesome ride, definitely stiffer not just b/c they are new compared to tired old struts. Couple of devil in the details for future reference, which Im surprise no one has mentioned before -The design of the OE strut base is superior to B4s. The OE base has a...

Had nice weather the last few days so I decided to tackle the PCV once and for all. I've seen the Mazda 3 PCV youtube videos but didn't like them b/c they all try to take short cuts, which leads to more effort and a much harder and longer job than necessary. Decided to just take the intake...

Looking to clear my garage and wanted to see if anyone here is looking to setup their Mazda 5 for sporty driving or stance - the YS DPS allows the lowest drop of all coilovers available for the Mazda5. Mazdaspeed 3 FSB with OE bracket Mazdaspeed 3 RSB with OE bracket and Prothane...

I've been getting unusually low MPG the last few fill ups, avg. 15MPG city. I don't recall it being this low but shrugged it off. Replaced the fuel injectors a short while back with reman. ones (also rough idle) to see if it might kill two birds with one stone - not really any different. Then...

Since the first day that I got into the Mazda 5, I wonder when will aftermarket offer Power liftgate and Power sliding doors (I know kits are avail for handicap owners). Finally found a kit for power liftgate with optional foot activation module. What's even cooler is that it is PnP into...

Keeping the trend of cheap is good... adding mo'powa to the wimpy OEM radio for $40. This was done Oct/Nov. Not sure if anyone here added an AMP to the OEM radio but I had some lessons learned that I hope will help others.. The amp is 6 years new (now discontinued, it was $30-35) ;) and the...

I have older versions of these sitting around for +2 years. Figure I make use of them to help with resale of car. I must say, I should have done this a long time ago... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XNM7GNS/?tag=m20b7-20 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N1S4CYW/?tag=m20b7-20 Camera on hatch...

Thanks for looking.

The throttle body performs a full sweep, once the car is shut-off, to calibrate/align itself for the next start. Maybe its just me (I never paid mind to it) but it sounds like the buzzing servo is quite loud and long..? I have no idea what it was like before b/c I never paid attention to it...

Flex Innovation 5 wire grounding kit for Mazda 3/5/MS3. Installed for 1 year (15K miles) before removing; good as new. Quality wires in a nice jacket - $25 shipped. http://www.flex-innovations.com/mz3gk.htm Installation how-to can be found above.

Been having idle (vibration) issues for a while now. Only occurs when the car in Drive/Reverse (drivetrain engaged). RPM is not erratic and the car otherwise idles fine in Park/Neutral and drives/accelerates fine. I suspect either air or fuel issues but there’s no check engine light...
