    Hi all. I changed the front rotors a few weeks/couple hundred miles ago and starting yesterday there is a metal rattling coming only from the drivers side wheel.You can kind of feel it but it's mostly just sound that you can hear both inside the car and outside. It only occurs when pushing the...

    2016 M3 Touring 5-door. So yesterday I had the great fortune to run over an almost intact thrown tread from an 18-wheeler while in fairly heavy beltway traffic at speed. The tread had pulled itself back into a ring and was lying on its side and it appears that I got most of it with the driver's...

    Just noticed this today. It is definitely related to the A/C as it hasn't rained recently and the water is fresh just after I drove the car for an hour with the A/C on. Everything I look at online is to clear the A/C drain under the car with compressed air, which I will do as soon as I can...

    Tried installing the front Megan H-brace yesterday on my 2016 hatch. Front attachment points fit fine. The rear points, that mount to the subframe, did not line up. The bar was too narrow, by about 1/4-1/2". I tried loading the suspension, unloading the suspension, loading one side or the other...

    Hey guys, I'm in process of upgrading my front brakes with 2-pot front calipers. I will try to give you as much information as I can, cause it's a simple and cheap upgrade. So let me start :) 1. What is the goal and why I'm doing it? The stock brakes don't give me confidence while braking...

    I have a 2012 Mazda 3 S Grand Touring sedan, my question is what are the torque specs for the front stabilizer bar link?

    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 super exited today to install one of those front tow hook license holders that attach to the front tow hook. Well, after I took the plastic cover out, I found out that my car doesn't have the socket. Is that a standard thing for 2014? https://i.imgur.com/X9FxmIZ.jpg Note: Yes I know...

    So my front right now sits higher than the other three corners on my 3 after installing my coilovers last weekend. Is there a weight difference of any kind in the front right that makes it lighter than any of the other three corners? The other three have almost a perfect two finger gap but the...

    I'm looking into buying a new Mazda 3, but here in California all the dealerships now are required to have the front license plate before leaving the dealership. I can probably use the towing platypus plates to get out of the dealership, but do you guys have suggestions for a long term solution...

    All - The tow hook is neatly hidden behind the front grill. How do you remove the front grill cover to get to it? I want to put a 'tow hook' license plate holder there but can't get that piece out. The owner's manual doesn't say how to do this. Thanks.

    Hi all, My Mazda dealer said my front sway bar end link bushings are ripped and seeping. Didn't say I had to replace them right then but I have been getting some symptoms I wonder if related to this: 1. Car doesn't handle as well as it used to, feel a lot of swaying side to side 2. Rougher over...

    My UK Mazda 3 has a short flap protruding down in front of the front wheel. What is its purpose being installed in front of the wheel (see photo)? It is sometimes a nuisance since it can catch on a steep speed hump. I might remove it if it serves no useful purpose.

    Hi guys, I was wondering if any of you have used anything in the front bumber to avoid the paint from getting rock marks? Any ideas? In a bit over a year the bumber has gotten a lot of pain chips, never happened like this with any other car I have owned in the pass. I always keep over two car...
