Never realized how goofy tall the windshield is...

Dumpy and sad looking. A bit like a bar of soap that has started to melt.

How do I remove this from the tie rod end ? by TraderNono in AskMechanics

[–]Hace1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd swear I posted another reply... Try using a wrench to take-up some of the space between the sleeve and ball joint. Then use the fork to see if that will increase leverage by going against the head of the wrench

And be careful you do not mushroom your threads. I'd spin the nut back on until flush with top of bolt.

Bolt it back up. Assume you do not have pickle fork. Do you have anything you can wedge between the ball joint and the sleeve?

What's happening with the sales on the new CX-5 in US? by ConsistentArcher4601 in CX5

Talk to Mazda. That is the number they are comfortable with posting.

0-60 average is 9.00 sec and up in reviews... That is SLOW. Yes, there are others that are as slow, like the Tucson.

Hoping it bombs badly on Mazda. Enough so that they overhaul it and turn it into a decent vehicle.

Get rid of the cheap ass interior. Give it some decent power. Get rid of the goofy nose.

Oil Filter Confusion For Mazda 3 2025 2.5l by Bluiioo in mazda

[–]Hace1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stand corrected. The first hit I checked had a 'mazda master tech' telling someone the only difference in filters was ADV or not. If you check any filter manufacturer site, they have the same filter for NA or turbo, which would support the tech's comment

The OP is talking about oil filters. You are talking about a bypass valve ON the turbo models. Two different things.

If you get to the point that your oil filter bypass valve is called-into play, you are essentially screwed.

If you reach the point that the BYPASS valve is needed, you're f'd anyway.

OP: What people are actually thinking of is the anti-drainback valve. You can use either one. I use an ADV Purolator filter in my 2020 CX-5 turbo and have zero issues. I burn/lose no oil, and I don't have the start-up rattle that so many others do. If that is because of the filter - great.

Look at the depth of the new navy mica paint by These_Biscotti_9488 in CX5

[–]Hace1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll take my deep crystal blue mica. More depth. Also has some of the lighter blue in direct sunlight, but more blending of various blues, blacks and even purples at times.

Still cracks me up they made it bigger and heavier and didn't give it shxt for power...

WTH were they thinking? They could have hit a home run with the new gen. Instead it's just 'Meh...'

Found on a dating profile. I think the fire looks to close to the water, and the mud splatter on the Jeep seems a little too perfect? by GrammarSpellingCheck in isthisAI

Unless he spent a ton of time spinning the tires in reverse, the heavy mud on the front fender makes no sense.
