bottom

My 2011 Mazda 3 has over 115,000 miles now. I went to go drain and refill my transmission fluid but I can't remove the damn skid plate under it because several of the metal nuts are rusted entirely. I managed to rip up the plastic around one of the nuts and stopped at that. Any advice? Are...

Wondering what the round piece that has 4 lines going into is as it is now leaking coolant after a ditch excursion. It’s located at the bottom front of a 2008 2.3l motor. Thx

I was trying to install my new coilovers today and ended up stripping the 8mm end of the pin that goes in the bottom of the rear strut. I couldn't slide it off either. I saw a couple threads saying you have to remove that pin to remove the strut, what can I do now? I'm honestly considering just...

Hi all, Just got back from dealer and they pointed out a black plastic plug (about 2 inch diameter) was missing in the frame of the car body (I had noticed but didn’t think it was an issue - just assumed it was something to do with manufacture). Apparently it’s a safety feature and a...

The shop manual says to remove the bottom stud to take off a rear shock. That stud only has a small 8mm head on it, and that thing won't come loose. I'm sure I could get it off if I destroy it, but I'd rather not. Will the bottom of the shock slide off the stud without removing it...

So I was driving home the other night and drove through a deep puddle and it completely shredded my engine splash shield, half of my clips on my bumper ripped (as seen in picture) and the splash guard is dragging. Most of it is being held by zip ties at the moment but is there another solution...

Just picked up a 2015 3s GT 5 door, and while going over the car I noticed the rear seat bottom is really not secured at all on the outside edges. So, I'd like to anchor it down a bit to prevent anything from snagging and pulling up too much on the foam/leather. Before I take a look under...

I had a little mishap and I damaged the black plastic part of the bumper cover as shown below: https://goo.gl/photos/PMeZFhWzCxnVz1t6A I am willing to have a less-than-totally-perfect repair. Does any one know what my options are if I just want to minimize the visual damage? Is there...

I recently did a short test drive of a Mazda 3 GT, and while it was admittedly brief my initial impressions were positive except for the length (front-to-back) of the seat cushion. I'm average height (5'9") and weight (~140 lbs) and the cushion felt short to me and lacking in under thigh...

Sigh... I knew this would happen eventually, but not the plastic popping out. So, as you can see from the two pictures, a huge scratch has befallen on my 3 by the evil curbs of LA. I'm going to try using rubbing compound to get most of the scratches out ( /crossesfingers), but I noticed the...

I was kinda annoyed when I found out there are only two screws at the top... I've been considering adding the bottom screws but I don't really want to add holes to my car... I have a plate frame right now, with fake screw tops so it looks even and covers the bottom holes of my plate.... But...

Hey everyone, I just bought a brand new 2013 Mazda 3 about a week ago, and I pretty much bought the lowest model (i SV 2.0L) for more space when I go on family trips, and for when I don't feel like spending a crap load of money on gas. I own a BMW Z4 sDrive35i, and premium gas is not cheap...
