My OEM remote start has stopped working on my 2007 Mazda 3 GT with Auto transmisssion. When I press lock and start on the fob, the lights come on and it tries to start the car but the engine doesn't...

Well I just adjusted my parking brake cable and ran out of adjustment so I guess the cable is stretched and needs to be replaced. So I don't think that it is sticking. I would have to remove the...
when i was at the mazda dealer for an oil change on my 07 Mazda 3 gt the service advisor said my right rear caliper was starting to seize. so i got home and jacked up the rear wheels and spun both...
So I just got around to fixing this over the weekend and for anyone who was wondering it was the front stabilizer links causing the issue. Now that they are replaced, no more noise.

There is a noise coming from the front when driving over bumps but it's not like a metal on metal clunk more like a knock not to to loud. I jacked both front wheels and checked the play in the front...
My AC stopped working last summer but I never got around to fixing it. I now am troubleshooting it and noticed that if I try to bypass the AC relay by supplying 12 volts to the AC clutch from the...
All mazda parts, rotors and pads and not the mazda value line that the dealer sells for cheaper, the good quality stuff. I dont drive aggressively or frequently but I hears that not torquing the...
My oem brakes on my 2007 GT lasted until 90 000km and I then installed aftermarket pads and rotors which were noisy so I decided to replace all 4 corners with OEM pads and rotors. That was in October...
I bring my car to the dealer to get my oil changed and on their list of stuff to do, they called the front engine cover that was leaking oil. They would replace the crankseal, front cover gasket and...
Ya the bumper is not the expensive part, the tri coat paint in my case ia quite expensive
I broke the right hand side front bumper tab and now the bumper holds but not supertight, is there a solution to this apart from buying a new bumper and paying $500 to paint the tri coat pearl...
Ah no i didnt know, i though it was like the thin protection they apply to the hood of cara
How would lamin-x(protection film) protect the lens? Since it's a thin vinyl film, wouldn't the rock still break the glass, it just wouldn't shatter?
The other thing I though about is adjusting the e-brake to bring the piston closer to the pads and keep more tension on them but I adjusted my e-brake and the rattle is still there. I bought new anti...
I take it apart and have a look. I notice one way for the noise the stop is if I pull the hand brake hard then the noise stops, unlike when pressing the brake pedal the noise stops and returns with...
Actually how much tension should there be on the rattle clip? Mine didn't seem that tight, I put it back on with my fingers and tapped it in the holes with a hammer to make sure it sits right.
I think it's coming only from the rear left hand side and I can't spin the wheel fast enough by hand to make the noise appear. Also maybe it only does the noise under load, I am not sure how I would...
Ya I need the whole assembly, a rock flew and broke the glass. I was looking for a unit and it's about $300 ouch. Didn't think it was going to be that much, from what I can see you can't just get the...
Does anyone know if the front bumper needs to come off to replace the left side fog light assembly? Also where would be the the cheapest place to get a replacement?
Well I cleaned the hub on where the noise was coming from but the noise is still there. I got no idea what it could be. I notice the noise goes away when I swerve hard(can't remember if right or...
