Replying to: mazdatired (Feb 28, 2008 7:51 pm) I own an 06 and an 08 (both Mazda5s) and no suspension trouble. I live in the northeast US. The only issue that I've heard is that the dashboard crunches a little on rough roads when extremely cold (10-30F), but that is pretty much it. Now, I also heard it on my past cars (as well as squeaky suspension on my old Honda Civic on cold weather) so possibly I'm used to it

Replying to: kivo (Mar 01, 2008 3:42 pm) The new Consumer Reports Auto Issue shows a bad mark for suspension in 2006, but for 2007 it improves to very good. Let's hope they're right. I have my doubts about that since there are still numerous reports of issues with this car regarding a variety of problems. Also noticed that Mazda stopped advertising this vehicle for several months in the newspapers. This could be because they were pushing their other models. Recently I saw a TV advertisement for the "newly" designed Mazda 5. Exactly what they changed I don't know. As I told Mazda Canada several times, I like this vehicle because it offers things that other manufacturers don't, but I really never expected to encounter such disregard for consumer satifaction. The Protege also had exactly the same problem and Mazda let the consumers down on fixing that problem once the warranty expired. Coolmazda I am still (touch wood) crunch free and it is still pretty cold here since my last fix. in December. Can you tell us what your bushing parts numbers are (specifically the "letter" after the part number (eg. 156A, or 156 B or 156C). Thanks

Replying to: mazdatired (Feb 28, 2008 7:51 pm) I am hopeful but realistic after being let down so many times before. And it looks like MAZDATIRED may have had this done already with no success.

Replying to: riproy (Apr 11, 2008 6:05 am) So far I have been crunch-free since December 17th 2007. Another owner is also crunch-free so far. The parts numbers should be (CC29-34-156C (front) and C243-28-156D (rear). Best of luck, let us know how it works out in the fall.

Replying to: trishr1 (Apr 12, 2008 3:26 pm) Now the TSB does not specifically mention alignment of rear but does about the front end. There are bushings on the rear that were replaced as result of this TSB as well. Is an alignment a MUST when replacing rear bushings? On the invoice there is no mention of front or rear end alignment, only parts replaced. The reason I mention all of this is because this is my 2nd set of tires and the rears both times had inside tire wear. When I brought the car to the dealer 1/08 they made no mention of wear upon their 'full circle inspection'. I brought to them again 2/08 and they said I have uneven inside tire wear on the rears and need an alignment which would be out of pocket expense. Through course of time while vehicle was under warranty I complained about unusual loud rear end noise when driving and bumps. My assessment is they did not perform alignment and are negligent from their work performed as a result of incorrect assessment on 1/08. My 5 has since gone off warranty. Please add you comments as I am gathering as much input as possible before sending CRRR letter to Mazda NA. |
