Three of my four door lock actuators gears grind and need replaced, so while searching the forum I read that somebody was selling a better made gear to swap out from the actuator for $15 each, instead of replacing the entire actuator. Are those gears still being sold nowadays?
Also, if the replacement gears are no longer available, onlinemazdaparts seems like the best place to buy new factory actuators. They have them listed for $42, $46, and $58 for the drivers front. Why do people on the forum recommend buying aftermarket actuators for $50 from rockauto and ebay when you can buy factory mazda actuators for the same price or less. Am I missing something?
Thanks
